We have just come back from an amzing weekend in Wales, which turned out to be a multi activity weekend due to the lack of wind. On Saturday we stopped in Taunton on the way up, paddling a Canadian canoe around a large area of flooded fields and dropping our passengers off on the way on random fence posts and trees sticking up!
Sunday was windsurf for cancer at Llandeggfedd reservoir. There was a great turnout with pirates and silver windsurfers, cake sales, BBQ, SUPs and kit to use and of course dedicated Mike Walklin teaching a team of windsurfers. We arrived for 8.30, getting straight on the water for a windsurf in about 6 knots, teaching our 'zero' Doug Reid. He did well in the little wind, learning tacking, sail 360s and sail and body 360s. No planing though in that wind, so he isn't a hero yet! We will take him again when its windier. The rest of the day we decided to make full power with all the watersports we could fit in, SUPing, diving off boats and rafts, paddling our surfboards and even fishing! We finished the day running up a hill followed by an amazing roast from Mrs Hilder!
Bank holiday Monday followed with more exercise, climbing at Llangorse. I even managed to climb the indoor tree trunk all the way up!
There is a video coming soon, but if you can spare any cash for a good cause, please donate HERE!
