Trees of north Wales

Trees of north Wales

Its Autumn and the fruits of the woodland and hedgerows provide us with nutrient rich high energy food, free for the taking. The trees are in fruition and in their best condition before the winter months push them into hibernation. To have an understanding which trees inhabit your locale, is an invaluable fieldcraft skill and one that I’ve been fairly in experienced with, up until late. With…

Adventure Film Tours 2018-19

Autumn and winter are the times for log fires, spicy foods and our favourite warm clothing. With daylight fading, and the lure of creature comforts drawing us in, we must not succumb to the slumber months. Keep the energy high, the exercise up and keep the feel good hormones flowing, to ward off those hibernating instincts. To keep the psyche up, in prolonged grey skied days in north Wales, can…

Surf north Wales

With cold water, prevailing onshore winds, a small swell window and fickle tide dependant spots, north Wales looks, on paper at least like a terrible destination for the travelling surfer. Every “north Walian surfer” has had the “Imagine if Ireland wasn’t in the way…” conversation (and yes, Rhyl would be vastly improved with a few peaks out front) but Ireland is there and we must make do with the…

Bass Fishing on Anglesey

Bass Fishing on Anglesey

Bass are one of the most amazing species of fish in our seas to catch on Anglesey, and sit at the top of the predatory food chain.  When you catch one you will surely know about it, as the line from your reel screams off in the direction of the horizon with rod tip bouncing along tow.

The autumn has arrived, with its consistent prevailing westerly winds, the seas are frothy white and the shorelines are all changing shape as the bigger tides sweep the Anglesey bays and take the sand offshore again.

It’s September time and the autumn winds are in the air. It feels as though we are about to make the transition seasonally, yet again. It’s time to stock up the firewood pile, pull out those marino base layers and get the rain jackets and hats out of storage boxes. Theres one last month of good weather though, and why not make it count with some camping around the coast on Anglesey and the LLyn…
