Pembroke 2013

At the beginning of August headed down to St Davids area in the van with Claire. Plan was to surf but the swell never picked up so the boards stayed in the van. Still managed plenty though with loads of exploring, swimming, body boarding at Whitesands and Newgale, plus coasteering at Porth Clais and Abereiddy.

Claire chilling in the van.

 Out exploring above Whitesands.

Well I never!!!

What we all believed all along.

Llanberis Youth Community Mural.

Llanberis Development Group are currently helping support a local art project being run by Tam. If you want more information you will often find her working on the project with the kids of village in the old Llanberis Store Shop, opposite Georgios Ice Cream Shop on the High Street. The work is going to be across six 8'x4' boards and eventually be placed on the old chapel land opposite the Joe Brown climbing shop. Will need plenty of paint donations, please ask Tam if you think you have any bright paint you think may be useful .

Long Range Surf Forecast!

Surf in North Wales is always a fickle affair but is a man made wave any more probably than consistent ocean waves or even a snow dome?

Boating and Biking up Aberfeldy Way.

Just returned from a trip up North to see Frenchie and Helen in Aberfeldy. Managed a quick but low water blast on the Tummel, a quick XC bike in the Glen Tilt area, a downhill run on a track into Aberfeldy and some playing on the bike park at Kinnoull Hill just outside Perth.

The whole ::definition family including Hi::def & Krooked is out this weekend in support of FREEDOMS United Nation of Dub launch party, see you at the front on Saturday night!

Round the lake once more.

Thankfully have had loads of time to get out over the last week due to the settled weather and a quiet spell at work. In the last week have managed to go and have a look at the old bomb stores in village - only taken a few years, been for an night time open canoe on Llyn Padarn, went exploring mountain biking routes between Betws and Capel before work one morning, a morning run round Llyn Padarn and finally a bike ride round Llyn Padarn and Peris through the quarries to blast away Sundays hangover. Looking back it’s plenty of miles round the lakes.

The Shaker is back.
