Welsh classic sailing books

[woodstock]

Anyone have any recommendations for good reads about sailing the Welsh Coast? I'm thinking a sort of Welsh version of Magic of the Swatchways!

Try: "The Cruise of the Nona" by Hilaire Belloc.

Sheepshagger of the Strumbles, by Ivan Awfully-Biggun.

I'll get m'coat. Is that the door over there?

Hey Ken, that's a cracker! What a hoot. Who writes them for you?

Disgusted of Llanminge.

Some years ago on a cruise around Anglesey in april I enjoyed Richard Woodmans "Captain of the Caryatid"....

Hmm; doesn't seem to be much out there.

The Section of Libby Purves' book "One Summer's Grace" covering their progress along the Welsh Coast is worth a read. I still smile when I think of her and Paul Heiney crying "You've landed us on the Bitches"! at each other, in moments of tension.
