Lovely coasteering piece in the Sunday telegraph

Thanks Gary King for a sooper dooper piece on winter coasteering in the Sunday Times - we liked it very much! See - it's true, it's plenty warm enough to coasteer in December, especially with a toasty warm winter wetsuit :)

Back in the homeland...and a nice suprise

After the hustle and bustle of London I got back home late on Friday...ahhh it really is nice to be back home.

After spending the best part of 2 weeks meeting study abroad students and chatting with them about the fun and adventures we have on tap at Preseli Venture it was a lovely suprise to find this email in the inbox:

"Hi Preseli Venture, In 1993 and 1994, my friends and I were studing in London from the University of Notre Dame in the USA and we took in 2 of your adventure weekends. I came across your website and it just brought back so many memories. I have never forgotten the kayaking, coasteering and hiking and the biking. It was wonderful I never forgot your dog, Teg, either.

You were a small operation back then--just 2 of you and the place was wonderfully rustic. I also remember being paralyzed with fear hiking up a steep part of the hike and Sophie coaxed me up and I was so proud.

I am so glad to see how successful your adventures have become and I just wanted to drop a line to let you know how much I enjoyed Wales and still remember it fondly years (and years) later.

It's nice to be thought of in such a fond way, after all of those years!

Frosty and bright

First day back in the office for 2009, and another perfect crsip wintery day with blue skies. Yes, it's true that the sea is not super warm at the moment - but once you're kitted out in a winter wetsuit you'll be toasty and ready for action! Our friend Gary King came along for some 'winter coasteering' at the end of December - I'll post a link to his coasteering piece once its published, and you'll be able to read for yourself that jumping into the sea in January is a GOOD thing!
