Welcome To Stanley...

It’s about time that the white-water paddlers at Cybi Kayakers got a mention on their own Blog site. So on a beautiful sunny Friday evening they all headed off to where the water rushes through… Stanley Embankment. Jay, Buddug, Simon and Dan met up with a couple of fellow paddlers, Ievan and Paul, who were already on the water and all enjoyed a couple of hours playing in the waves.
Here are some pics that tell their own story, along with a video clip that says it all.
(Completely mad, the lot of them!)

Penhryn Mawr Revisited...

What fantastic weather we've been enjoying these last few weeks, and if I get half a chance I'll either be on the water or wandering along the cliffs with my camera. It could be a bit of bird watching or photographing the flora and fauna or the changing cloud formations that drift across the sky... Or maybe, by chance, a couple of very experienced kayakers hitting the waves and tidal races at Penhryn Mawr at full flood. Yes, Our very own Eila Wilkinson and the legendary Nigel Dennis, whooping it up and having some fun. Even though I was a good distance away on the clifftops using my longest lens I could still hear the screams of delight coming from Eila. This is sea kayaking at it's best...
