26/11/07 What a strange weekend! Anyway after an early start on the Severn for the first of the bores which included a frosty ground, a classic sunrise, a glassy wave and long ride we ended it with another day of bore surfing and an evening of night bore surfing. All in all completely bored out! Plenty of drama too including hitting the sand banks, risky surfing between the trees and avoiding a huge tree in the river. Exciting stuff! More on that coming soon.

One update i forgot to mention is on the bungee page. If you think you have seen the ultimate bungee click on this page and watch the you tube videos. Unbelievable!

Lastly, tickets for the prize draw are selling fast so make surf you get yours. T.Bawn

09/10/07 Another great weekend for the weather with plenty going on. Alastair and Mal had great success on their carp fishing trip with around 19 Carp up to 19lb plus. I had a great Tench fishing session with a new PB. And we managed to get a decent walk in the Black mountains done with the added bonus of free mushrooms for dinner! The surf is looking like it's going to pick up in the next couple of weeks so sign up for the email if you want to know when and where we are next going. Stay tuned. T.Bawn

03/09/07 Not quite the start to the autumn bores as predicted, with myself especially getting a pasting from my board on the shallow banks near the boatyard, which resulted in a snapped fin and a few bruises! Still nice to see it braking on a 1 star rated bore! We also had a short walk in The Malvern Hills, which although a little busy were not a let down, in fact the view was amazing. You could see from the brecon beacons to Coventry!

Still time to get involved with some of the trips we have planned so just drop us an email. T.Bawn

28/08/07 Who would have thought we would actually get a sunny bank holiday weekend!! Not great for the surf though, but we still managed a session at Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire. We stayed at Marloes sands, a nice little place with plenty going on in the area including diving, fishing, trips to Skomer island, kayaking, power kiting, walking and surfing. So a great place if you want to have a bit of fun.

Don't forget, it's the start of the rideable Severn bores this week and followed in september by the biggest of the autumn bores. For more information on the bore times and where to see it check out the time table here. T.Bawn

13/08/07 Fairly good swell the last couple of weeks have seen a few good surf sessions at Llangennith on the Gower coast, south Wales. It's nice to surf in the SUN for a change too! But be warned it is getting fairly busy now with the kids on holiday so leave early to avoid getting caught in the tailbacks.

30/07/07 We were right about the weather this month but still had a great time in the Lakes. We managed a few mountains including Scafell Pike, Yewbarrow and Helvellyn (Striding edge!). We also squeezed in a nice canoe trip around Ullswater which we highly recommended. And of course plenty of the local ale and sausage. More about this trip coming soon.

Anyway now we are back it looks like the sun may finally come out ...typical. Well we still have the rest of the summer to go, so plenty of time to tan the bones. Stay posted for further trips. T.Bawn

02/07/07 What's going on with the weather!?!?! The wettest june on record and it's looking like a wet july too. Still we managed a short walk on the weekend and came across a rather large Grass snake. Caught and released safely I hasten to add. For more pictures of this walk click on the photo.

Lots planned for the next month including a week in the Lake District, walking canoeing and probably getting a little wet. Stay tuned for our trip report with lots of cool pictures, links and ideas. T.Bawn

23/05/07 Another classic weekend away at Glan-Y-Mor in Pembrokeshire. The surfing at Whitesands was very mixed with a big blown out day on saturday and nice 3-5 foot waves on the sunday. Great surfing although I could have done without ripping a fin off the board!! Still enjoyed by all. Special thanks to Jenny and DJ for the GEM!

More tales from the Severn bore too with a great new view courtesy of Nathan with his head cam. Check it out here. More coming soon including a few planned trips surfing, walking and climbing. Stay posted. T.Bawn

01/05/07 Another classic surf trip to the Gower coast on the weekend with a few nice 2-3 foot clean sets with ample time to paddle out. Easy surfing, we love it!
