Fashion


I really like the t-shirts designed by Howies, Cardigan Bay's 3rd biggest clothing company.
My current favourite is this one, which recognises that well know US company producing "The highest quality, casual, All-American lifestyle clothing for aspirational men and women" (their words)...!?!

Anyway, the Aber Teifi is a fantastic river that flows through Llandyssul and includes Cenarth Falls which can be rather nasty on the river left side (grade IV+/V). I have swam both times I have tried to kayak it (both on the same day!), the last swim being a very disconcerting experience indeed. I made it through the big drop but hit a tiny but powerful eddy which pushed me back into the stopper and I capsized. As I was getting a sound inverted thumping by the rush of the water, I baled out of my boat, allowing it to float off downstream, whereas I just got sucked to the bottom of the river and held there till I was very nearly out of breath. Not pleasant at all ...!
