Hello everyone,

Here's what's going on this week in the Trekkers, including a nice easy evening walk on East Gower on Thursday and a somewhat longer ramble in the Vale on Saturday.

Caswell Bay Walk - 17th July PM




Becky takes us on very pleasant summer evening stroll from Caswell Bay to Brandy Cove and along the rocky coastal path to the pebbly beach of Pwll Du. Our walk then turns inland through the streamside woodlands of the Bishopston Valley, returning to Caswell Bay via farmland and lanes. We should be back in time for refreshments at the beachfront cafe!

The walk may be very muddy in places so bring decent footwear. Dogs are welcome, as long as they can cope with some mud (dachshunds may struggle).

Start Time: 1900

Start Point: Caswell Bay Carpark (SS595876)

Call Becky on 07818 097615

Nash Point and Llandow

Rob and Marie lead the way on a majestic coastal walk in the Vale of Glamorgan. The route starts and finishes at Nash Point via Broughton, Llandow Sigingstone and Llantwit major. We go past a HUGE greenhouse and a go-kart track as well as looking out for the big horn as well, it is really BIG. The Terrain is pretty flat, so the walk is classed as moderate to strenuous only because of the distance of 16 Miles.

As with all walks led by us, dogs are welcome as long as the owners behave themselves.

We meet in Swansea at 0930 as usual and we will get to the carpark at Nash Point at 1020, where there will be a small consideration for parking (GR SS 916 683).

Call Rob on 07990807510.

Hope to see you there!
