Re: The Welsh Open
Looks like an interesting event, I haven't seen it either. I like #2. Is that a penalty?

Re: The Welsh Open
I see a lot of kayaks in the mountains, but nothing like that. It looks like it would be a blast. Great photos!

Re: The Welsh Open
Polo isn't a big sport at the moment, but it's growing fast. The world championships are on in Amsterdam this coming weekend with teams from all over the world attending.
Here are another couple of shots, A blocked attempt at goal  and a "kayak tackle" (known as ramming to the uninitiated  ) |
