Newsletter - 'Walk the Square' in North Gower this Sunday

Hi all,

This Sunday's walk is going to be a bit different, and as well as providing an interesting change will also help us to secure the future of Britain's footpaths!

'Walk The Square' - Sun 11th Feb - Llanmadoc

'Walk the Square' is a Rambler's Association initiative aimed at keeping Britain's footpaths and rights-of-way open for all to enjoy. It involves a group or groups walking all the footpaths in 1km squares of the OS map. I won't go into the legalities too much but basically footpaths have to be used to justify their staying open to the public, and using them in this way is a great way to methodically protect all routes from closing. It also identifies any obstructions caused by overgrowth, unscrupulous farmers...etc.

This is a combined walk with the Swansea Outdoor Group and the 'squares' that we will be covering are around the Llanmadoc area of North Gower. We'll be starting from Llanmadoc, going out past Broughton to the point by Burry Holm, and then looping back taking in the edge of Llanmadoc Hill.
The walk will total around 9 miles in distance and is graded at moderate.

We'll be meeting at County Hall Carpark at the usual time of 0930. We don't have a start point yet as that is in the hands of the SOGs, so as it stands we're all best off meeting at County Hall and then taking directions from the SOGs from there on in.
Rob is the TT contact for this one, and if you want more info give him a call on 07990 807510.
