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!

Open Water Swimming in Borth and Aberystwyth
The sea temperature is gradually warming up, it still isn’t warm at about 10ºC but it’s warm enough to get in for a swim with my Triathlon Wetsuit on and the warm sunny days have made the sea look quite inviting. I had a nice swim at Ynyslas last Thursday, just a straight swim down...
Windsurfing at Ynsylas
And just to prove that I have still been windsurfing despite the distinct lack of wind lately, here’s a quick clip of me giving it a go with only just enough wind one morning last week. Conditions were very marginal and I was out on my 80 ltr slalom board and a 6.3m sail. At...
Kite flying lessons
Morgan gets better at flying his kite with every attempt. Of course, he’s never happy just flying it and insists on doing ‘loop-the-loops’ or flying it one-handed which then means I end up running up and down the beach to launch it for him. He has got the hang of it now though and could...
Windsurfing at Ynyslas
Just a quick video clip of me windsurfing this morning at Ynyslas. I was out on my 4.5m sail and little JP Wave Board, although I probably should have rigged the slightly larger 5m sail as there were times when I wasn’t quite powered up enough – This resulted in a bit of a swim...
Borth Sea Defence Scheme – March 5th
Anna was working on Saturday so couldn’t join us for our weekly walk along the beach to check on the progress of the Borth Sea Defence Scheme. My parents were here though and hadn’t seen any of it yet so as usual we drove from Ynyslas to Borth, parked up on the road and then...
Running at Race Pace
I don’t know about Anna’s walking the world, but I’ve been trying to do a bit more running lately. I still don’t do much, but rather than getting out once a week I’ve been trying to increase this to 2-3 times per week. Trouble is I seem to be getting slower each tim I go...
Winter Takes its Toll
I’ve always had a vision of planting lots of Cordylines (also known as Manx or Cabbage Palms) along the road here as I think it would enhance the seaside feel with a slightly tropical touch. We’ve planted a few ourselves, other neighbiours already have some and we’ve even bought some as presents for other locals...
Eskimo Surf Session
Just got back from a surf session – Yep, it was cold! The waves were really nice though so it had to be done. I’d like to say that it was lovely out there and once I was in the water it wasn’t that cold, but that would be lying. My hands were in agony...
Xmas in Ynyslas
Just some nice photos of the snowy Xmas scenes from our back garden. Hope you like them, and have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
