Retiring

After 5 years on the beach I’m retiring from constant wind watching.. We are moving up into the welsh hills next week. 7 acres of woodland and a river should keep us busy. And if any of you mtb (sorry no petrol heads) guys feel like trail building over the winter then let me know. Kiting has been a lot of fun but its time to move on to something different. I will get out a bit but probably after work and from Aberystwyth south beach.

We are having a house warming on the 26th July so if you fancy poping in then u2u me Although you may find getting those gin palaces up to the drive interesting.

Laters people

Look after the beach for me

Mate,

I'm gutted, I'll miss our mid week sessions!

Good luck to Margi, Amy, Jasper and yourself in your Riverside Cottage adventure.

I still hope to catch you for that occasional session on the South Beach at Abber.

Missing you already!

Chris best of luck to you and the family. We fondly refered to you as Lord Chris of Borth (not sure you knew that) so would you like to suggest a new title as I think Lord Chris of the Welsh Hills may just be a bit grand.

Seriously best of luck and would love to see the new place sometime. Do you have the fishing rights to the river and which river is it?

Chris and Cath
