Beach Photo Walk
You don’t get nicer mornings than this. Clear blue skies, no wind and not too hot. Oh, and a deserted beach backed by the Cambrian Mountains – Not a bad place to live.
A summer’s evening ride
We had a lovely Mountain Bike ride last night and it was nice to see a number of new faces on the ride as well. We met at our usual spot near to Angler’s Retreat. As well as myself, there was Pete, who is now a regular rider having started riding with us last year,...
Windsurfing Photos from Borth and Ynyslas
I’ve just been sent some photos of me windsurfing the other day. It’s not very often that I get to see myself windsurfing as very few people like standing on the beach in typical windsurf conditions here – cold wet, grey and of course windy – with a camera. So it’s always good to see...

Borth Rocks!
I should have posted some photos of this ages ago, but the unloading of rocks from the large barges out at sea continues in Borth. For the last few weeks there have been two very large Norwegian barges moored on the horizon, about 4 nautical miles offshore. Every high tide, both night and day, two...
