- This is a trip around 'The Stacks' off Anglesey with Ian Wilson @wavesoffun and friends. It includes play in the tide race off North Stack, seals, surf and caves.
A big thanks to:
Ian Wilson for sharing footage
Ian Elliott @iansoutdooradventures for sharing footage
Great video, thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the comfort of the eddy near North Stack once I had managed to get into it but that tiderace, from the comfort of my chair, looked like fun.
Thanks Ian.
Ha.. yes, the chair will help but the little eddy was a brilliant addition to a nice race
Another excellent film completely ruined by "music" that adds Zero!
Maybe we can get you hooked yet!😁
I'm always open to suggestions on where you find your royalty free goodies 😉
beautiful, but what’s the purpose of the hideous background music?
Thanks for watching. Please feel free to say what music you prefer. I'm always open to suggestions for better royalty free music.
Damn this makes me want to paddle. Nice video! We have a similar-looking coastline on Lake Superior here in the states called Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore - lots of rock gardens and it can get lumpy...but it’s only about 7 miles of paddling.
I just googled it. That looks well worth a paddle ...
Thanks for watching! Sounds like you should go paddling 😁
"Best you'll get from me" says the Geologist. Did you check out the virgo and the decklines (assuming that one had the little front hatch) ideal boat for cave exploration.
Haha.. maybe I should have tried a bit harder with my geology.
There were several Virgos in this group. They're probably well suited to the caves and rocks.
The Valkyrie is, though I need to remember the rudder to avoid bashing it and need to embrace the scratches as the come..
Great footage of something I would like to gain the skill to try! Also, great background music! Thank you!
Thank you !
Anglesey is great, I loved it and will be back for more.
Great video, I'm just back from doing that trip, it's world class and I finally met Ian. Can't wait to do it again.
Thanks David. Yep, it was a good one. I really enjoyed it. I'll probably take my wife's Delphin next time, the Valkyrie was a bit interesting in the steeper waves.
Maybe we'll meet up there - or if you find yourself in the South..
Looks like a fun day was had, great to see the cockpit cover done good. The coast in the North of Wales looks magnificent. Those caves look like fun :)
Thanks guys. Yep, the cover was "the business"..
This coast is amazing and great people to discover it with.
I’ll be in Anglesey in a few months with a ruddered boat. I notice your rudder was down in the race, did you try rudder up ?
Hi there,
I didn't try with the rudder up to be fair.
The Valkyrie is quite rudder dependent with very little traction aft of the cockpit.
I'd think a more traditional shape is probably better with the rudder up.
I suspect the Valkyrie would be manageable with the rudder up but the race there isn't my first choice of spots to experiment as it would be hard work to get back if I messed up and drifted off downstream...
I expect to get back to Anglesey later this year so maybe we'll meet up on location 😜
Thanks and all the best
Darren
Cracking video sir! Be great for you to join us all again soon. Such a good weekend.
Thanks indeed. It was great and we'll definitely head back with more time and more ribs.
Thanks again 😁👍
Wow, great video. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
There's always more to come so stay tuned 👀.
