Newry Beach is a small shingle and rocky beach that sits within the outer harbour area, on the landward side of the breakwater and directly beside the town’s lower seafront. It stretches roughly east to west, backed by a promenade that runs from the Holyhead Maritime Museum on one end, past open grassy space, to near the Holyhead Sailing Club on the other.

Canoeing to Rhoscolyn Beacon
We were not surprised to find more seals on the rocks as we went around, and must have seen twenty or thirty of them in all, but a couple of encounters were a bit more exciting. As we rounded one corner of the furthest rocks, and coming a little close to rocks as we passed, we found ourselves facing a very large seal, who just barked at us, as we passed by.
Llyn Padarn – Accessibility
Llyn Padarn is a glacial lake, and as with many of the lakes in Eryri (Snowdonia), Llyn Padarn is not just a body of water you can paddle that has a nice view. It can quite literally feel like it’s inviting you to paddle straight into the landscape of some amazing painting. Sitting above this beautiful lake in the heart of Llanberis, are Yr Wyddfa, which is Cymru’s tallest mountain, and Glyder Fawr.
Llyn Geirionydd– Accessibility
Llyn Geirionydd sits in an upland hollow above the Conwy Valley, surrounded by rounded hills and managed woodland. When you’re at the lake, the landscape feels enclosed but not dramatic. This is not a high, jagged mountain cirque, but rather, a quieter upland basin shaped by glaciation. The lake is framed by smooth, heather-covered slopes and forestry plantations associated with Gwydir Forest. These hills rise steadily rather than sharply, giving the area a contained, bowl-like feel.
SEAS All Afloat Sailability Review
The charity is fantastic. They support not just people with disabilities, but their friends, family, and of course, carers. It’s a break away from the daily grind, of pain and stress, and it gives people a real boost. All the volunteers have been wonderful, and can never do enough to support you. There’s always a panad (brew), on hand, and they often have a BBQ roaring, so you can eat after being potentially wet and tired.
Where Have We Been!?
It’s been a few months since we uploaded our previous video, and there hasn’t been much information as to where we disappeared to, or most importantly, why? This blog will hopefully clear that up, and will also provide some insight into the direction of our channel.
Gallows Point Adventure
What an incredible day this was. A canoe trip from Gallows point in Beaumaris, through the Swellies, under both the Menai Bridge, and the Brittania Bridge, and then […]
Jacob’s First Time Kayaking
However, then something just clicked. After speaking to the people from SEAS, being shown how to move about, how stable the boat was, how to put his skeg down, and reassured that he would be rescued if the worst happened, he left the safety of the dock with us. He took to it, like a duck takes to water. He was paddling fast, turning in circles, powering past everyone, and he just looked like he belonged. It was beautiful!
Pushing Firefly Into 2024
Unfortunately, we have almost immediately then come up against Storm Isha and then immediately afterwards, Storm Jocelyn. We get a lot of storms here, but these two were exceptionally troubling. Storm Isha recorded over 124 mph (199.56 km/h) in gusts only a few miles up the coast from us.
Aber Falls on a Mobility Scooter
We marvelled at the hills, and the beauty of where we were. When we stopped to have lunch, we spent time laughing, joking, and messing around together. While that is our default state, it was really great to all be outside doing it. We were out as a family, enjoying each other’s company. Lovely.
