JOGLE Training – 100 miles of Wet & Windy Welshness

With my JOGLE attempt approaching quicker than it should be and time running out, I’ve been trying to get a longer ride in each week just to start preparing my body for so much time in the saddle. Finding the time for such rides isn’t easy though and so far I’ve only managed 4 such rides. The...

A Ride to Nant y Moch

It was the last day of Half Term and finally I had a day that I could spend with Morgan. So, after a few chores around the house and a little bit of work we headed up to Pendam for a mountain bike ride. Morgan wanted to head out to Nant y Moch, but I wanted...

Conquering Bwlch y Groes

With our plan to cycle from John o’Groats to Land’s End to raise money for the JDRF later in the year, we thought it was time to get some training in so Jay and Mike came up to stay for the weekend and we headed out for a ride each day. Jay had said that...

Aberystwyth Pollution

It looks as though pollution has made it to Aberystwyth. It was fine yesterday but it’s looking pretty murky out there today. It could just be a sea mist of course but we were expecting the smog caused by pollution that has been affecting other parts of the country to make it to West Wales...

An Ynyslas Sunset

We get loads of gorgeous Ynyslas Sunsets here but I rarely post photos of them, so here are a few from tonight to make amends.

Jaffa-Caching and the Signs of Spring

Well, that’s the first day of the Half Term off to a good start. My parents left after their weekend visit at around 10am, so Morgan and I headed over to the beach with his remote control monster truck. It was cold, windy and deserted on the beach, but the skies were blue, the sun...

Whatever Next?

We’ve had massive floods, huge waves, tidal surges, evacuations, hurricane force winds and power cuts, you’d think that would be enough now, but it seems not. Borth is now on fire!!! It looks as though the bog is burning and no ones knows why. Quite how that can even happen considering how wet it is...
