Kayaking, Cliff-Jumping, and Hiking // Adventures in Wales
This weekend I went to Fishguard, Wales for an Adventure Weekend.
Friday afternoon we took at 5 hour train ride to Wales and got to the Lodge around 7.
The first thing we noticed was the cow manure smell and quickly realized we were staying right next to a dairy cow pasture.
We ate an awesome home cooked meal and spent time playing intense card games.
Saturday morning we woke up early for breakfast and went on our first adventure of the weekend.
My group had kayaking first so we suited up in wetsuits! Putting on a wetsuit was an experience in itself.
After we had on about three layers each we got fitted for our Kayaks and drove 10 minutes away to a beach.
I’ve been kayaking before but never in such rough water. The swells were so big but it was so fun.
The water was freezing so thankfully I never fell in. We kayaked around the cove and looked into caves.

Howdy. I've been hiking most of my life. I spent my young boyhood hiking up and down the mountains in Hell's Canyon, bordering Oregon & Idaho with my father. He taught me important wilderness skills that I have passed on to my own sons. Since growing up in Idaho and hiking all over the Sawtooth and Selway wilderness areas, I have since hiked in the Andes and several trips diving and hiking in Antarctica, including the "Footsteps of Shackleton" expedition. I was also active in National Ski Patrol for 15 years, including Avalanche control and rescue. Since then I have become a Doctor of Trauma & Orthopaedics at Oxford England with an interest in Expedition Medicine. My son, Jeremy is now the main hiker in the family with weekend hikes throughout the summer and will share his adventures.
