Old crabby legs...and I don't mean Daf

Perfect morning at the beach before work. Billy and I skipped along the sand until Daf was ready to head out on his kayak, and then we watched him power his way through the surf. We followed him over to a secret spot, where he lifted his pot, and then headed back into the beach.
Here he is looking handsome.

Billy was keen to check what was in the tub - a big fat lobster perhaps?


No, a couple of crabs, which make great eating too. My mouth is watering. It's nearly 4.30pm, and nearly time to leave the office....and home to a delicious supper. Yum.

Thanks to my celebrity stalker and infamous cat botherer friend, Jackie Morris, for the lovely photos.

Andrea's coasteering adventure!

Hiya, rambling through the blogosphere as I am prone to do, I found Andrea's rather delightful description of her coasteering adventure here at PV over the Easter weekend,

"The next morning we had breakfast and then got suited up to go coasteering! Coasteering involves swimming, climbing rocks and then jumping off them! We wore wet suits, additional shorts and vests for extra warmth, socks, sneakers, gloves, life vests and helmets.

It must have been a funny sight - there were other people on the beach - watching 10 people in wet suit gear striding into the water and awkwardly trying to climb over slimy rocks while not letting the current take you away. It felt like we were on a secret mission and were trying to sneak through the water. It was really fun though, and once we got in we started to swim around the coast and stopped at various rock formations.

We started off small - first 5 ft jumps and some small climbs and then onto bigger jumps. I think the highest jump I did was about 12 ft - pretty good, considering I had a hard time jumping off the tower at camp. But it's really hard to do all the swimming and climbing and then not jump off - it's a really strange thing to be in all this gear and a helmet and jumping into turquoise water. Along the way our instructors talked about various birds and where the seals come to lay their pups. We also swam into a little cave opening that is open or closed depending on the tide.

It's really cool to be inside a rock and hear the waves crashing and feel the current drag you along. After swimming and jumping we got out of the water and climbed up a big hill that connected to a bath that lead us back to the beach where we started. Again, I think we startled 2 hikers who saw us soaking wet in all our gear walking along a field. But all in all it was really fun and something I would never have done on my own!"
And here she is , our happy little adventurer! Lovely stuff :)

Love and sea kayaking on the Pembrokeshire coast

Libby and Ant, Preseli Venture's resident star crossed lovers, managed to have a day off work together and set off for their own adventure. Sea kayaking was the order of the day, and they departed from Fishguard Lower Town and headed North up along the coast to a little deserted bay. There they lay out their picnic blanket and stared dreamily into each others eyes, as they enjoyed their sandwiches. Ah, bless. And here are some piccies they took.


If, like Libby and Ant, you would like to explore the Pembrokeshire coastline by sea kayak you might like to check out our SEA KAYAK ODYSSEY sea kayaking events. Sandwiches are of course provided, but doe eyed loved up moments and snogging are of course completely optional :)
