Tawe Trekkers Newsletter - 19th April 2010

We've just had an excellent weekend in the Forest of Dean and a great time was had by all. We almost lost Dave's dog, but certainly couldn't've asked for better weather!

Also, would just like to say thanks to those people that have joined the Rambler's Association to validate their Group membership. After last week's message, some more people have now joined up through the RA.

There's a few items in this week's newsletter, so read on for the latest...

Kilvey Evening Walk - Thurs 22nd April

Bob is leading a walk with a difference on Thursday. A jaunt up Kilvey Hill at the novel (for us) time of 7.30 on a week day evening.

We'll meet at the Ship Inn in St. Thomas at 19.30, then walk along the Tawe before climbing the 210 metre ascent to the top of Kilvey Hill. This vantage point really is one of the best places to get great high-level views of Swansea Bay and Mumbles.
After the walk there'll be a chance to drink at the Ship Inn afterwards.

Distance: 3 Miles
Difficulty: Moderate
Meeting: 19.30 at the Ship Inn
Contact: Bob on 07981 963681

Mumbles to Caswell - Sun 25th April

The walk was originally going to be led by Cat, but she's not available to lead this one so Emyr will now take the route.
This is an opportunity to have a nice leisurely walk from Mumbles to Caswell (and back!) along a classic and picturesque stretch of coast path.

Distance: 4 Miles
Difficulty: Easy
Meeting: 0930 at County Hall, or 0945 at Mumbles.
Contact: Emyr on 07846 879210. Please call Emyr if you intend to meet at the start point in Mumbles.

The meeting will be held at the Vivs in Sketty from 19.30 onwards. Please come along if you want to suggest or lead walks, or organise social events or weekends away. All welcome!

Night Out - Pumphouse - Friday 14th May!

Last week I mentioned that it had been a while since we all had a night out together (we are a social club as well for just walking!). The suggested date was the 7th May, but a more popular choice of 14th May has now emerged.

So date for your diaries; Friday 14th May at the Pumphouse in Swansea Marina. Meeting at 7.30 pm. We can go somewhere else later if the mood takes us!

It's going to be rambling-themed fancy dress, so please come suitably-attired in bobble hats, walking boots and waterproofs. Any people not wearing these items will not be allowed to take part in the event.

(I am joking about the fancy dress by the way!!! Please come as you are!)

Call me on 07766652837 for more details.
