Holidays
A few days off work beckoned. I joined the family mid week who were already at Fishguard, West Wales.
On arrival I shot up the road to Strumble Head to check out the conditions. The race in the background of this picture was very impressive. A strong northerly wind and big swells I was mesmerized at its power and so glad I wasnt down there.
I followed the coastal path for a few miles to take in the fantastic scenery.
This was only my second time to Stumble Head. The last time was a couple of weeks ago down on the water.
I was tempted to wait around for the twilight pictures but promised Id be back for the kids club at the holiday park.
After a day spent with the kids in the rain the sun finally made an appearance late afternoon. We all went down to Pwllgwaelod and while the kids paddled in the shallows I had a play in the waves.
Further out the swells were fairly massive and with the onshore wind made for some intimidating water. I caught a few good waves then made my way back to Fishguard.
As this was the only full day I was here I stopped off at Fishguard Old harbor for a quick paddle in the last of the light. Again further out in open waters the swell and wind made for some choppy water.
I did a little rock hopping between the sets...
And a little exploring.
Then just took in the fantastic views.
Friday and my short stay comes to an end. The rest of the family head home early but I wasnt in a rush. So me and my little boy Zakk headed back up to Strumble Head for a walk along the coast path.
Strumble light house.
Zakk taking the awkward way over every gate.
We got out the rug and Zakk had a play with his toys while I sat back and took in the stunning scenery. Not much paddling but who cares I had a great time.
