Cemlyn Bay to Porth Eilian
Paddled with Wenders and Si. We decided to paddle across the top of Anglesey with the flood tide, lunch, then paddle back on the ebb tide. Managed to get as far as Porth Eilian, near Point Lynas, despite stopping for a leg stretch at Bull Bay. Saw some Porpoises around East Mouse. Some fairly lumpy...Continue reading→
New Boat: Tiderace Pace Tour
I've been looking at buying a Fast Sea Kayak (FSK) for some time and very nearly bought a second hand Rockpool Taran back in 2016. But at the time, I was really looking for something to do my Sea kayak leadership awards with and couldn't justify spending out on a boat I wouldn't get to...Continue reading→
It’s all about Stanley (or is it?)
I'd been thinking about doing the Holy Island trip for some time, but what with Covid, a knee replacement, a bicycle accident - which caused my bad knee to swell to the point I started getting DVT's (Deep Vein Thrombosis) in the calf muscle of my bad knee/leg, followed by a pulmonary embolism (from the clots...Continue reading→
Porth-y-post to Silver Bay
Paddled with Ashley, Brian, Kris and Si on what turned out to be a super day weather wise. Everyone was keen to get some miles in so we headed down the coast with a following wind to Silver Bay. Stopped for lunch and paddled back into the wind, via a quick surf at Rhoscolyn Beacon...Continue reading→
Trearddur Bay Surfy Saturday
The video says it all really, although the wide angle GoPro footage does flattens the sea. It was a pretty rough day, blowing F6+ when we got on at Trearddur Bay. The wind and swell did weaken throughout the day though, with even the sun making a welcome appearance a few times. Not long after...Continue reading→
The Skerries
The weather was set fair for Sunday, so what could be a better option? A trip out to the Skerries. We met up at Cemlyn Bay. A rather large group too, so Si and I decided to do our own thing, separate to the group. Mirco was leading the other group and planned on following...Continue reading→
Trearddur Bay Rhoscolyn
My first time in back in Anglesey since, gosh, last year! And what a super paddle. I met up, as pre-arranged, with Si and Kris and we decided to get on at Porth-y-post, just down the road from Porth Dafarch. From there we headed down towards CRAIG-Y-MOR at Trearddur bay, before heading off towards Rhoscolyn. It...Continue reading→
South Milton (Another short holiday paddle)
Another blazing hot sunny day in Devon. This time at South Milton. What a cracking day and best of all I get to have a paddle to the Hopes and to explore the Bolt Tail. It was a busy day at the beach with lots of people on Stand Up paddle boards on the water....Continue reading→
Bigbury (A short holiday paddle)
On holiday with Mrs T in the South West and I get to go for a paddle! The first time since January, no thanks to Covid. Bigbury was flat calm, despite all the surf boards being carried to the beach. I opted to take my Valley Sirona. It was a blazing hot sunny day. Pushing...Continue reading→
Rhos on Sea and Around the Orme (with seals)
Six of us met at Rhos on Sea, or I should say, three of us met at the pre-arranged meeting place with free parking and slipway access, and three met a bit further away with pay and display parking and a different slipway. It didn't really matter as we all met up on the water,...Continue reading→
Cemaes Bay – Monday
Simon and I had arranged to set off from Anglesey Outdoors at 8:00am, for some breakfast, before heading up to Cemaes Bay. Cutting a long story short, someone (ahem me!) forgot to pick up their kit from the drying room at Anglesey Outdoors. I guess a combination of still being a bit sore about damaging...Continue reading→
Menai Straits
With Saturday 14th December blown out, and the weather forecast or Sunday looking only slightly better; Simon, Ashley, Kris and I decided to meet up at the Menai Bridge Slipway at 0930 for a session in the Swellies. We played in the currents under Menai Bridge for a while before moving out to the outer...Continue reading→
