Snowboarding: Eisteddford Gurig Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: 15mph Surf / Sea State: n/a Air Temperature: 5C Sea Temperature: n/a Weather: Sunny and clear skies Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Had the use of a friends snowboard for the day so thought i should make
proper use of it. I phoned up Al to ask him where Eisteddford Gurig was and
decided to make a trip out there with a few others. Arrived there but wasnt
exactly sure which slope he was using. Decided to park up in one of the
laybys on the second big bend and unloaded all the gear.
Had never tried snowboarding in my life so strapped in and just went for it
being careful to avoid the rocks. Managed to travel 10 feet or so before
falling on my arse, got up again and managed to get to the bottom of the
slope without crashing into the fence. I had a few more gos each time
gaining more confidence before it was someone elses turn.
After everyone had there go, decided the snow wasnt thick enough as it was
a South facing slope directly into the sun, thought it would be better if
we'd head back and try and find a North slope. Giving it a 3 stars as the
snow wasnt quite thick enough in places
