Kiteflying at Ynyslas
[dropcap]S[/dropcap]ummer’s back and Morgan has been out flying his kite on the beach here at Ynyslas… It was a little too windy for him so I had to rescue him as he got dragged down the beach. He seemed to enjoy it though.

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.
Being Tourists
What a scorcher! It felt like summer yesterday and with Morgan off school and Anna having a day off work I decided to join them and we headed across to the beach first thing in the morning. Morgan and I headed off in the inflatable canoe whilst Anna sat on the beach relaxing and reading...
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...
Sore Knees
Another day and another windsurf session. Nicely powered with my big wave board and 5m sail today. There were plenty of nice steep ramps about as well which inevitably led to some nice big jumps, and then sore knees. Mind you, I don’t think the 6 mile run along the coast path this morning helped...
Windsurfing Ynyslas
After what seemed like the end of summer yesterday and a very autumnal feeling day, today was a little warmer, much drier and there was still some wind so I had no option but to go windsurfing. I took my GoPro camera with me of course and got some nice footage of a decent session...
Ynyslas to Borth & Back at Speed
It may not be the fastest way to travel, but it’s not far off it and it’s certainly one of the most fun ways of getting from Ynyslas to Borth and back. Fast, coastal gun-running in the sunshine of Wales – Perfection!
Bees in the Wind – The Joys of Coastal Beekeeping
After last nights excitement with the arrival of our first bee colony we were keen to see them get off to a good start today. Unfortunately for the bees, Ivor, our local katabatic wind kicked in and it was blowing at 40 knots all day. The bees did start venturing out at about 10 am...
Mad Speed Sailing Session
Ivor kicked in over the weekend as predicted and blew with a vengeance all day long. Despite the fact that I was supposed to be having a rest day on Saturday in preparation for the Dyfi Enduro on Sunday I just had to go for a windsurf. The estuary would have been good as the...
Summertime Sailing
It may still only be Spring but the sunshine, blue skies and turquoise waters here have made it feel like summer for a few days in April. Who’d have thought this video was shot in Wales!
