West Side Story...

Being located on the West side of the island we’re prone to some very strong north westerly winds which blow off the Irish sea; never warm but quite invigorating, if you wanted to be kind with the description. But if you ever fancied witnessing the sheer power of nature then this is the place to be.
A walk along the cliff tops, anywhere from Trearddur Bay to South Stack when the wind gets up, will give you a front seat view of some of the most spectacular action scenes you’ll encounter this side of Bruce willis and his ‘die hard’ movies. No stunts here, just the awesome power of nature doing its thing. Not everyone’s idea of a pleasant stroll along the beach, but if you feel like blowing away some cobwebs, then this is definitely not to be missed.
( I like the idea of the life belt in the picture, not a lot of use on a day like this…)
Every year around May time an international windsurfing competition comes to town and some of the best at the sport come to Rhosneigr to show of their skills. When the conditions are right these guys just fly…I think I’ll just stick with photographing them, but it sure looks like fun.
I’ve spent to long now talking about the west side of the island so the next couple of blogs we’ll head east and see what we can find over there.
