So we’ve all seen the gorgeous mountain surfing videos online - usual shot in the Alpes somewhere.
But I’m in Bristol… anyone know of anywhere near where i can ride some challenging terrain? I’m thinking I’ll probably have to head over to Wales.
How about the Valley of the Rocks, not too far away from you. Could have some fun there. I didn’t manage to get any video as it started chucking it down.
Cadair Idris would be pretty suitable, and it’s about an hour’s drive closer to Bristol than Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). Cadair is a proper mountain by anyone’s standards, a tougher walk than Yr Wyddfa because the base is at a lower level, and steep & rocky on all sides.
Pen y Fan is about 90 minutes closer still for you, and quite good for surfing. Dropping down off the Corn Ddu-Pen y Fan saddle or the Tommy Jones memorial to Llyn Cwm Llwch would be quite exciting!
