Round Table Float Day 2

I managed a few more hours work on the float on Sunday afternoon. A couple more hours of grinding and scrubing and it should be ready for painting.

Birthday Coasteering.

This weekend I had some friends visiting from Liverpool to go coasteering to celebrate Janine’s 30th. Anglesey was catching a big swell from the south west so we headed off to Morfa Nefyn to swim with seals and find calmer waters. Lots of swimming, jumping and laughing followed.

Everyone busy climbing up to one of the jumps.

Another leap.

Round Table Christmas Float Rebuild Day 1

The rain eased for a couple of hours today and that was all that was needed to start work on the Caernarfon Round Table Christmas Float. Kelly and Claire both keen for something to do after the rain put pay to any customers for outdoor activities kindly lent a hand. In the end we managed to get nearly all the frame stripped of the lights and old timber. Jobs at Boulder Adventures are certainly varied.

THE SHAKER - Heavyweight Sound

Good Home Wanted.

I have had a pair of speakers living in a local pub for a couple of months and it was inevitable that some DJ would rag the system eventually. Any how it’s happened and I now have a pair of 18 inch drivers that need a new home and more importantly a re-cone. Thankfully the pub have been decent about it all and made sure I have recouped most of the cost to replace the drivers with new as a quick turnaround was needed. This means I do not need to get rich of this but if anyone want them send me a message, cover my postage cost and give me a few beer tokens and they are all yours. If you want to get in contact best to do it by pm on speakerplans.

The drivers in good cosmetic condition other than a little beer on the left one.

Two more rides.

It’s been a quiet week in the centre which means that I managed my third evening out mountain biking in as many days. Last night I visited the Llandegla trails and rode the red route with Martyn. There are some really nice smooth flowing sections but there are some bits that are a bit worn and rutted and these get a little tiresome considering its maintained trail. Worth the visit though, I may try to visit again and get on the black route when it’s not peeing it down. All the facilities looked good but only had time to pop in for change to feed the parking meter.Monday night was the more adventurous route when Kelv and I made it up Telegraph Valley, down the Snowdon Ranger path, along to Waunfawr then back over the hill to Llanberis. A great but rather nervous ride with my tyre packed out with cardboard after slashing it open on slate 50m off the tarmac.
