With that in mind we decide to head towards Cardiff and sail another spot closer to home – after a tip-off from Jim – which should be working right through low tide. We both had to swear to secrecy as Jim handed out the sat nav co-ordinates and, with the location locked in, we are back on the road, racing across the Gower to catch a second session before the sun goes down. As luck would have it, we arrived an hour before dark, with the tide just starting to turn and half-mast-high sets peeling down an exposed reef/point break. With dramatic cliffs, drenched in the warmth the wintery sunlight provided, as the backdrop to this awesome location, there was time enough for Ross to build an appetite for this break and leave him with the desire to return. After a quick bowl of leek and potato soup (well we just had to since we were in Wales) we were back on the road one last time headed back home just in time for Christmas! I wouldn’t say Santa had totally unloaded all the toys out of the sleigh while we were at the Gower, but that magic hour was enough of a taster to leave us both hungry for more.
