Coasteering

[F.J.]

Hi all,

Me and a few of the lads went over to Anglesey yesterday to do a spot of coasteering. Being somewhat of an andrenilin junkie we searched the web and came across this and I can tell you we were not diassapointed. We started off on a fairly easy part of the coast with a bit of rock climbing (scrambling as they put it) and swimming through a tight opening which led into a huge, long and dark cave. A few 10-15 foot high rock jumps into the sea followed by a steady swim back to shore.

The afternoons trip out was on the more trickier side, the sea had picked up and the swell on the headlands had doubled in size with the odd rouge wave taking us out as we climbed out of the sea. We finished off with a few jumps off a cliff face about 40 feet high which was absolutely s##t hot. There was one jump called the death drop around 100feet high but it was in a cove section where the guide said the sea was too rough to jump!

Anyway, I thought I would just share this with some pics as it was one of the best days I've had apart from the unlimited mountain section of the TT.

looks like a good day. one of my mates into all that stuff, base jumping, climbing, pot holing etc. i think he is mental to be honest but he seems to enjoy it

I ruled out jumping out of a plane due to not being in control but after yesterday and other things I'm getting into I honestly think I would try anything given the chance

I have always liked the look of that lark, takes me back to my chaotic childhood but probably safer, we used to dive into weir pools.
Anything? Try this

Thats just up the road from me.

I do some part time work for a local company that does that (and other stuff) too.

My roll is taking & running the mobile climbing tower to events all over the place.

I can imagine that to so exhilarating, spending so much time in the air on your own.... I may do it just to get some peace from the missus

Or sign the missus up for it, you get the peace and safer at same time.

Looks more like Holyhead than Anglesea. Between Trearddur Bay and South Stack perhaps?

You are Right it is holyhead. I said anglesey as the trip was through Anglesey Adventures, thats some memory you have to know that from looking at certain rocks and coves!

I grew up there, have fished off some of those rocks and cast lobster pots from them too. I lived at Pen-y-Bonc LL65 1YL. You can catch cod and skate from the rocks especially in winter but it can be very perilous. I remember one guy back in about 1984 lost his life fishing in waders with rough seas, he got taken by a large wave and his waders pulled him under.

Its a lovely place and the sea was stunning, although the wet suits played a big part in that. Me and the wife are going camping somewhere near (I forget the name) at the end of the month with one of the lads who came yesterday. He spent most of his youth holidaying around these parts and we're taking his dads rib out for a bit of fun so that'll be me getting wet all over again.

That wouldn't be the climbing tower trailer I've seen between Clynnog Fawr and Trevor would it ?

 

[Justme]

Almost, just after the second Trevor turn but before the new round about.

Unless you mean the big red one that is a spiderman tower which was parked in Clinnog Fawr (he has moved now & is closer to where the tower is) but is owned by someone else.

Yeap that's the one, you were towing it a few cars in front of me a couple of months ago and I was trying to work out what the funny looking trailer you was towing was. I'm just around the other side from you in Llithfaen.

 

[penfold]

Rather you than me, but it does look fun. Make sure you're doing it with someone who knows what they're doing and is familiar with using weather forecasting; someone drowned coasteering last year because they didn't.

we had a guide who spends all summer doing this and all winter in the middle east with the army so we were all confident that we were in good hands

Yeh from the back its does look odd from the back.

From Llithfaen you should be able to see where I live. Just outside Mynedd Nefyn.
