Penllergaer Woods *Evening Walk* Thursday 13th August

If you'd like to wind down on Thursday evening with a nice walk, then it just happens that Emyr is leading a route through Penllergaer Woods on the 13th. An easy stroll through a pleasant forested landscape just north of Swansea, it's close (to Swansea), quite easy to find, and best of all there's the chance of having a beer with Emyr afterwards in a nearby pub. Here's the vital statistics:

Difficulty: Easy

Distance: 3.5 Miles

Meeting: 1830 at the Swansea Council office buildings just off M4 Jct 47 and the A48 (you are able to park in the office carpark).

For more details or directions please call Emyr on 07846879210.

Cwm Clydach - Sun 16th August

Here's some info from Babs on her Clydach Valley walk, note the slight variation from the programme:

I've had to change it a bit due to parking and access problems, it's shorter than advertised on the programme and futher down the valley.

We'll be walking up through the Cwm Clydach Nature Reserve (a pretty riverside walk), then climbing up to return via farmland and moorland with good views of the Clydach and Pontardawe valley. The walk is approx. 5 miles long and moderate, with some rather muddy bits and steep slopes.

We can retire to the pub near the car park afterwards or travel over to Felindre to enjoy our drinks.

Difficulty: Moderate

Distance: 5 Miles

Meeting: 0930 in County Hall car park or at 1015 at Cwm Clydach Nature Reserve car park just south of Craig Cefn Parc, ref. SN 683 026.

Please contact Barbara on 07810 715390 for more details or if you are going straight to the start point.
