The Gower Gallop is a day of challenge walks with a choice of routes of various lengths. On each route participants must call in at a series of preset checkpoints on their way round. All routes offer walking in a wide variety of terrain, visiting major points in Gower such as Arthur's Stone, Rhosili Down, and Oxwich Bay. The routes finish where they start from with a well deserved cup of tea! The event has been running since 1993, and attracts walkers and runners from around the UK.

This year, there are three routes to choose from, 12.5, 20 miles and 30 miles, so choose your distance and enter. If you want further info on the event, you can give me a call on 07990 807510.

Lost Property
Our lost property department informs me that a posh Olympus digital camera somehow found its way into the wrong rucksack and has been returned to the walk leader. Possibly the owner put it in the wrong rucksack, or the owner of the rucksack inadvertently picked up the wrong camera. Don't know how it happened but give our Lost Property Manager(pictured) a ring on 07766 652837 to collect.
