The Way Out West - A Blog about Pembrokeshire life, as written by an idiot

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..

Emma and me took on a strip of the Penbrokeshire Coastal path on Sunday. We walked the Broadhaven North to Stackrocks section, which is near St Martins Haven.

Raven Run - Brechfa

10 August 2008
We hit the new Raven run in Brechfa again today. The weather was pretty crap, but the all weather trails seem to hold up pretty well. Griff took a heavy hit into a jump though after loosing his front wheel. Heres a snap of yours truly on the final tabletop.

Broadhaven South - Peak summer

29 July 2008
This was the scene last Sunday walking down to the beach at Broadhaven South. The beach was packed and rumours were that you simple couldnt get to Barafundle because of traffic going down to Stackpole Quay. Though it was very busy there were good vibes all round.

Top: A mellow paddle past Marloes after the near death experiences.

Middle: Jaime tows my boat through the boil after I capsized for the third time, I swam and tacked on the cliff face to get round eventually.

Musselwick to Westdale

20 July 2008
Yesterday Horse, Jase and me took on the kayak paddle between Musselwick bay and Westdale. A nice paddle... apart from the fact you have to paddle through Jack sounds. We managed to hit the sound at its most insane. I capsized 4 times. More photos coming soon. Enjoy this one of Dale, it took a hell of a lot of energy to get there to take it!

Jump building in Canaston

12 July 2008
Jase and me decided that it was a good idea to make some new jumps in Canaston woods. Perhaps not the best idea the day before the Brechfa Enduro, but its better that staying in!

Mid Wales biking - Nant yr Arian

07 July 2008
A few of us hit the Nant yr Arian centre in mid Wales yesterday, we wanted to complete the Syfrydrin \ Continental trail as a training\preparation blast for next weeks Brechfa Enduro. The trail is awesome, which leads through some seriously remote and exposed parts of the mid Wales hillside. The weather turned out pretty good for us. This is a snap of the drive back…
