About Me
This blog is not written in the hope that anyone will find it interesting; it's a visual record of my life which I will be referring to it when I'm old and decrepit. I will not be swearing in my blogs in case my grandkids read it.
I am a graphic designer who lives in Pembrokeshire. I like living in Pembrokeshire because the landscape and culture allow me to do all the things I enjoy, surfing, biking, playing rugby, climbing and boozing with my mates.
The blog is updated whenever there is somethin worth reporting on. For the most part it will be gossip, or some stories about my adventures in Pembrokeshire.
Pwllgwaelod to Cwm-yr-Eglwys
13 July 2010
In my opinion North Pembrokeshire has the best coastal path walks. We took off from Pwllgwaelod and walked around Dinas Head to Cwm-yr-Eglwys on Sunday. Patchy blue skies and good beer in the Sailors Safety! This photo (taken on my phone) is looking from Dinas Head towards Newport, the Parrog is just visible on the right.

We waited until the last minute to get across to Skomer Island by kayak as the tide was still churning Jack Sound up a bit. We were met by these awesome Puffins. Click on image to view a larger version.

Pembrokeshire Iron Man (over two days)
05 July 2010
What better way to enjoy the Pembrokeshire summer than cycling 120 miles through Pembrokeshire?
Rosebush > Porthgain > St.Davids > Newgale > Dale (day 2) Lawrenny > Freshwater West > Freshwater East (The worse hill in Pembs?) Tenby.
While you're at it, why not throw in 26 miles of coastal path running and a good swim down the Cleddau Estuary for good measure. Click on image to view a larger version.

Gateholm - King for a day
17 April 2010
I spent Friday afternoon exploring the Marloes area. I hopped on to Gateholm island at low tide, I had the island to myself! It was amazing, this picture is looking over to Skomer from Gateholm island. Click on image to view a larger version.
