The Spring That Keeps on Giving

Alan Cole — Sun, 18 May 2025 12:53:03 +0000

And so the amazing weather continues — sunshine, more sunshine, and then yet more sunshine. I heard on the news the other day that we’ve had more sunshine this spring than we had throughout the entire summer last year. That’s been reflected (well, absorbed actually) in our solar panel stats, too, with record-breaking months throughout...

Running, Surfing, Sky’s Garden Nursery & Bike Riding – Bank Holiday Fun from Ynyslas

Alan Cole — Wed, 03 May 2017 05:55:22 +0000

We didn’t really have much planned for Bank Holiday Monday. For a start I kind of forget about Bank Holidays as I don’t usually ‘go into’ work on a Monday but work from home. However, Anna and Morgan were off so it seemed as though we should do something. Running around Ynyslas I was up...

Bank Holiday SUP Surfing

Alan Cole — Tue, 02 May 2017 05:09:09 +0000

Just a few of the waves from my SUP surf session on Bank Holiday Monday morning. Not a soul in the water here at Ynyslas other than me. Lovely mellow waves to start with then got a bit bigger towards the end so that I could charge down a few steeper faces.

A Mellow Day at Ynyslas

Saturday was fairly grey and dreary this weekend. That didn’t stop me from getting out on the water for a mellow day at Ynyslas though. SUP Surfing on a Mellow Day at Ynyslas First up was a mellow little SUP surf off the seafront. The waves were only small and gutless but there was enough to play...

SUP Surfing in December

Alan Cole — Thu, 29 Dec 2016 14:49:26 +0000

It seems that no matter what the weather there is always something to do here in Mid West Wales. After a week of wind and plenty of windsurfing, the wind has dropped and I headed out on my bike. I missed a surf session whilst on my bike, but since then the surf has continued to...

SUP Fishing in Borth

Alan Cole — Wed, 12 Oct 2016 07:08:18 +0000

Monday was looking to be a lovely day here this week. What better way to spend it than SUP fishing? It was cold at first with temperatures dropping to 4ºC but with clear blue skies and light winds. Perfect conditions for SUP fishing. I had a fair bit to do at home though so got...

Swell SUP Surfing

Alan Cole — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 13:09:11 +0000

Impatient Al… Yep, that’s me. The surf was looking amazing on Wednesday afternoon but I had to wait for Morgan to get home before I could get in the sea. In the end I met him from the bus on my bike so that I could give him a ‘backie’ home. It was quicker than walking...

Summer Fun

More summer fun at Ynyslas as the summer starts to come to a close. A nice long walk first thing in the morning as the sun rose. Followed by A SUP Surf and some more tandem surfing with Morgan – So much fun! After a little bit of pottering in the garden and the shed...

Tandem Surfing

Alan Cole — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 05:18:17 +0000

Seeing as my Mum was worried that I didn’t do anything strenuous on Saturday morning – other than moth trapping, beekeeping and geocaching – I thought I’d better make up for it. Windsurfing I did get out windsurfing in the estuary on Saturday afternoon. The wind was a little flukey but was gusting up to 28 knots....

Just a short video clip and a frame grab from what has to have been one of the mellowest surf sessions ever on Tuesday afternoon.
