Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
How exciting can a roofrack be? Well, my new one from DropRacks is about as good as they get. The Roof Rack Challenge Having a van as a vehicle and needing to get long, heavy, difficult to handle and often expensive toys such as surf ski’s and canoes onto the roof isn’t easy. I’d managed,...
As part of my plan to get back on the water I’ve been paddling a few times with Aber Kayakers. I’ve always had connections with the club but had never really been a full member as I did a different type of paddling. Once I started Quadrathlons I was more into performance paddling in the...
The final day of sea kayaking already and the itinerary looked good. The weather looked nice as well as we all piled into the minibus after breakfast for the short drive to the beach of Tramariglio on the Capo Caccia Peninsula in Sardinia. The drive there was pretty spectacular as we followed the road along...
Day two of kayaking and we had already fallen into a familiar routine. After breakfast with the others in the Agriturismo there was time to get ready and then Clark and Giovanni turned up with the mini-bus and kayaks at a leisurely10am. Today he drove us to Porto Ferro on the West Coast. Here we...
Having travelled across the UK on Monday, across Europe on Tuesday and across Sardinia on Wednesday, Thursday was finally the day to get back on the water. I hadn’t been on the sea since my heart attack last June so doing so in the not-freezing waters of Sardinia was the perfect way to do so....
Following on from my baptism of fire in the Tewskesbury Hasler a few weeks ago I thought it was time to give it another go. This time at the Gloucester Hasler. I don’t think two races quite make me a kayak racer but it’s a start. I had at least now paddled a K1 a...
It would have been nice to continue my Coast Path Run on Saturday, but the Colwyn Bay Blast had finished my legs off for the day so there was to be none of that running malarkey. I’d been invited to join the Dyffryn Conwy Paddlers on Sunday though for a kayaking session at Llyn Geirionydd in...
The forecast for the weekend wasn’t great, butt summer seems to have stayed with us and I’ve been making the most of it! Nothing new there! Gravel Pits Friday evening was spent at the gravel pits in Cwm Rheidol with Aber Kayakers and the the Scouts. The all got on really well with their kayaking and...
You know me, I always have a new project on the go! Recently I’ve patched up a very old surf ski that I have. I’ve been out for little jaunts on the estuary on it. The surf ski is old, it still takes on a little bit of water and its very unstable but I’ve been having...
What a perfect evening that was for a canoeing and kayaking session in Cwm Rheidol. The usual suspects were there from Aber Kayakers to take the Scouts and Cubs out on the water whilst the Beavers went for a walk around the lakes. We took our self-built canoe along for an outing too which got...
