Rumours of fatalities at both places.

No real facts yet.

The ‘Pontrhydyfen’ one is apparently at the top of Cimla.

There’s a couple of references on FB to the Haverfordwest incident being linked to paddle boarders. It’s been mentioned that 2 people have died - RIP. It’s reported that 1 more was airlifted to hospital.

Reports are a bit vague at the moment but it seems a girl has been killed in a car crash up by Cefn Saeson school.

Wow I know who it is now.
His uncle was friends with my wife when he was killed a car crash in 1980 and his auntie lived directly opposite me in Baglan.
I’m stunned.

Terrible news.

I’ve been told one of the young ladies that died had a 7 year old and a 3 year old.
I’m not going to name her because the press are c*nts,I had it myself once when they were knocking on my door and following my girlfriend around looking for a quote.

One woman is claiming the water looked too dangerous to paddle board in, so she decided not to.

I hope that's just not true.

I have oftened wondered why no paddle boarders / surfers ever wear life jackets, yet canoists and sailors do.

The water was far from calm. No time for blame. I am sure it was all done in a safe and secure environment and these things happen unfortunately, like crossing a road. Cant account for every eventuality.
