South Gower from Port Eynon Walk - Sun 28th Sep

Becky and Phil take us back to that favourite haunt of the TTs; the Gower. This walk heads west from Port Eynon along the coast passing Deborah’s hole, and then heading inland across the fields with pleasant views over central Gower. I'm not quite sure exactly what Deborah's Hole is, but if you're curious and want to find out then you'll just have to come along to the walk.

Meeting: 0930 at County Hall, or 1000 at Port Eynon Carpark

Distance: 7 Miles

Difficulty: Easy/Moderate

Call: Phil on 01792 555901 or Becky on 07818 097615.

Taliesin Arts Centre - Sunday 12th October, 7.30pm - Billy Cobham & Asere DE CUBA Y DE PANAMA

Tickets: £16

Under 25s: £14

When jazz drumming icon and musical legend Billy Cobham first teamed up with the innovative and stylish young Cuban group Asere at WOMAD 2002, no-one could quite have anticipated where their union would end up. Six years on, the result is a stunning collaborative debut album ‘De Cuba y De Panamá’, which marks a journey into the making of musical history.

Tuesday 23rd Sept - Pub Quiz with Swansea Outdoor Group

If you get this in time, remember it's the pub quiz at the Westbourne from 8 on Tuesday. Eat plenty of fish throughout the day and bring your thinking caps. We want to give ourselves the best chance possible; there's doctors, academics, and all sorts of brainy characters in the SOGs so they're going to be tough to beat, but we can do it TTs!!

Exmoor - 3/4/5th October

For those that are coming to Exmoor, if you need a lift and haven't got one lined up yet, you can give me, Doug a ring and I'll try to sort you out. Any questions about the walks or accomodation, give Tom a call on 07980477164.

In one last desperate bid to get a few more people for this trip; is anyone else interested in coming?

If we don't get enough people, the club accounts will be short, then the Ramblers' Association will shut us down. The void left by the Tawe Trekkers will cause a power vacuum in Swansea, and shortly this will be occupied by a criminal gang.
The gang will be small at first, but it will grow and grow over the years, diversifying into international trade and politics, spreading it's tentacles into every aspect of life, and then conducting a military conflict on a scale never seen before in history.
This chain of events, which started from something as seemingly minor as a shortage of people on the Exmoor Trip, will ultimately lead to apocalypse and the extinction of humanity (and this puppy).

So if you want to save the World (and Mr. Snugglewumphs here), there might still be time.

Give Doug or Tom a call if your interested, or email us on the address below.
