20-04-12, Porth Dafarch, Anglesey - Rock Climbing

Fisherman's Friend, HS classic Gogarth South Esoterica!

It has been cold, and showery in Snowdonia the last few days, even a new dusting of snow on the Carneddau! I have been doing some sport climbing on the a55 crags yesterday, Dyserth crags are worth a look if your near St Asaph. Today heavy rain in the morning followed by sunshine and warmth at Holyhead. Kath and I had a look at a little crag called Porth y Garan, then went to seek out Fisherman's Friend at Porth Dafarch, very good, a little jem! The headed to Castell Ellen and climbed Rap - a good afternoon.

15-08-10, Porth Dafarch - Coasteering

Today I have been Coasteering at Porth Dafarch. Tom, Tom and James have just graduated from Nottingham Uni and are having a holiday in North Wales and fancied doing something fun and adventurous. The sun was out, the sea was slight, conditions were great for climbing up, down and across the sea cliffs inter-tidal zone. We found several jumps into deep water, and ventured our way into some of the deep cut rifts. The lads thoroughly enjoyed themselves and came to the conclusion that it was a far better activity than the tree top adventure they did the day before.

Coasteering is a great natural, fun, exciting, adventurous way to discover the coastline. There is plenty of opportunity to jump, climb, swim and see the great architecture of the rock up and close which is hard to see from a far.

If you fancy getting a group together and going coasteering, in a safe environment with safety kit and instruction included, then visit http://www.snowdoniaoutdooradventure.co.uk/ to book.
