Tawe Trekkers Newsletter 16th August

Rhosilli Down, Hardings Down and Llanmadoc Hill - Sunday 23rd August

A dramatic change of plan for this week's walk. Instead of the heart of the valleys we're heading to the Western end of Gower. Starting near Middleton we tackle in succession all the mightly peaks of West Gower - Hardings Down, Llanmadoc Hill and Rhossili Down. The 360 degree views from the high points are gloriously extensive and features of interest include ancient hill-forts and a herd of lamas!

Distance:- 8 miles

Difficulty:- Easy/moderate

Meeting Point:- Civic Centre East Carpark 9.30 as usual, or call Graham to discuss

Further details:- Contact Graham on 07770435341

The Brunswick pub - Thursday 20th August

Yes it is time for the trekkers to gather in this great watering hole again (8pm onwards). I believe Mr Jack (aka the man with the kiwis) will be in attendance so it will be a great opportunity to wish him a final farewell before he leaves Wales (although see below!).

Gwyl Pontardawe Festival - Saturday 23rd August

For those who like good music, why not join Tom and attend the the Pontardawe Festival. It's a great opportunity for people to relax, sample some of Wales finest bands and have a drink or two. Tom informs me that there is the possibility of staying over at Catrin's house. So if you if fancy making it an all nighter, just bring your sleeping bag and mat or airbed. Catrin who lives just north of Pontardawe in Ystradgynlais can comfortably host up to 7 people.

To register your interest or for further information, please contact Tom J on: 07980 477164

On that note I bid you all a good week.
