MTB Video from Brechfa
Rather than working today, Dave, Pete and myself met at Abergorlech near Brechfa for a ride around both the Gorlech and Raven Trails. It turned out to be a great day out with some really good riding. The trails there have matured well and were riding fast. They weren’t too wet or muddy either which...
Moving Beehives
Despite our best efforts to prevent it, a couple of our hives looked as though they were being robbed of their stores. In fact, ever since I caught a swarm from Clettwr and re-housed it nearby there seem to have been bees happily drifting between the two hives. Recent inspections have shown both hives to...
Tottenham Hotspur Football Skills
I’m not a great fan of football in any respect. I don’t play it and never have, I don’t watch it and never have and I couldn’t tell you anything about it, so I won’t try to. In fact, I kind of dislike the whole football scene as it just seems to revolve around lots of...
Marbles
On our way home from Dartmoor, we stopped off in Bovey Tracy at the House of Marbles. It was a slightly odd place, but then anywhere that is dedicated to marbles is going to be. They had some huge marbles and marbles of all kinds in the museum, along with lots of mesmerising marble runs....
A Ceredigion Coastal Swim
A few members of the INTR Tri club went for a gorgeous little swim along the coast yesterday. We started from North Beach in Aberystwyth in slightly choppy seas and sunny spells. Along with myself there was Graham and Sharon, Amanda and Kim. We swam out towards a buoy in order to avoid the rocks...
Butterflies and Otters
Just another post about our trip to Dartmoor and a visit to Buckfast where we went to the Butterfly and Otter sanctuary. The butterflies were spectacular and we followed a keeper around whilst he was feeding the otters so got to know a little of the history of each otter as he gave a talk...
Wild Swimming at Hexworthy
As well as visiting Plymouth during family holidays as a child, we always used to spend a day swimming in the river at Hexworthy on Dartmoor. During our recent camping trip to Dartmoor, it was therefore my duty to introduce Morgan to the joys of playing in the river. We went wild swimming at Hexworthy...
Big Wheel, Plymouth
Whilst in Plymouth, Morgan and I had a ‘ride’ on a London Eye style big wheel perched atop the Hoe. The wheel was almost 60 metres in height, twice as high as Smeatons tower so provided some amazing views down onto the Hoe and out across both Plymouth Sound and the city of Plymouth. It...
Childhood Memories in Plymouth
Everyone knows that my memory for past events isn’t great and when family conversations turn to things we used to do I seem to have lived in a separate world to everyone else, never quite being able to remember anything that we did. I do however remember family holidays to Plymouth and more importantly some...
