Tawe Trekkers Newsletter - 10th May 2010

Scurlage and Knelston - Sunday May 16th

This walk explores some of the lesser known footpaths and byways of Western Gower. Starting in Reynoldston, this circular route takes in the villages of Berry, Horton, Scurlage and Knelston. We'll walk through pleasant farmland and woodland rich in spring flowers and birdsong. There is a fine sea view at Horton and potential for an ice cream or coffee stop. Other features of interest include historic quarries, lime kilns and ponds.

In general the gradients on this walk are very benign but there is some uneven ground and plenty of styles to cross. Dogs are welcome but there are lots of sheep, cattle and horses throughout, so canine companions need to be on a lead for the majority of the walk.

Difficulty: Easy/Moderate

Distance: 8.5 Miles

Meeting: County Hall at 930 or Reynoldston at 1000. If you plan to meet at the start point in Reynoldston please contact Graham.

Contact: Graham on 07770435341

(Looks like Graham is teaching a pony how to read a map, and that's after training a cow how to take photos!)

Night Out - Friday 14th May

It's going to be a very sociable week this week!

Firstly, Bob's doing another quiz at the Westbourne on Tuesday night (call Bob on 07981963681 if you're interested in joining the team).

Secondly, it's our regular pub meeting on Thursday night at the Brunswick...

Thirdly we have a Tawe Trekkers night out on Friday. We'll be meeting at the Pumphouse bar in Swansea Marina from about 7.30 (pm, obviously). Should be a good craic; Chris Price is even planning on coming down from the Midlands! As I've said, I haven't made any arrangements for food (as the focus is expected to be on liquid refreshment), so maybe best to grab a bite before we meet, or bar meals are available at the Pumphouse on request.

Any questions call me, Doug. See you there!
