Today Andy was coasteering with Kirstin and David at the very wild and stormy Seil Island!

Swell was huge! so allot of the normal coasteering journey was off limits! However we found excellent fun in the shore dump and buffer zones close to the islands off the harbour area.

A great adventure and a sheltered jumping session in the quarry later on!
