Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Whilst on an open water swim session on Monday here at Ynyslas the water was clearer than usual so I was actually able to see the seabed. I was also able to see lots of large Spider Crabs roaming around out there. The larger ones seemed to be wandering around on the sand on their...
Thought I’d better check that I could still windsurf seeing as it has been howling for days. Popped over to the beach with my 5m sail and 85 ltr Naish Hybrid Freewave. 25-30 knots WNW winds and some fairly meaty, messy swells to play with. The odd crazy squall to contend with as well, but I...
Just got back from a lovely sunset stroll along the beach.
Just a few quick clips of Morgan flying his kite at Ynyslas on Sunday afternoon.

We noticed that a new earthcache called Ynyslas Longshore Drift had been set up here during the week. Today was the first chance we had to get to it and luckily the day dawned bright and sunny. So, after breakfast we all put our shoes and coats on and headed off for a stroll along...
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...
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...
