Tawe Trekkers Newsletter - 12th July 2010

A few of us have been lucky enough to experience Dave's fantastic Pembrokeshire tri

p this weekend; a long linear walk along a well-chosen stretch of coastline on Saturday, and a fascinating trip to Skomer Island on Sunday. Thanks to Dave for organising an absolute corker! Read on to find what's coming up soon...

Fan Hir Walk - Eastern Brecon Beacons - Sat 17th July

It's another Dave special! This time Dave leads a challenging but rewarding walk in the Eastern Brecon Beacons, starting from near the Tafarn-y-Garreg pub and climbing up to the Llyn y Fan Fawr and Llyn Fan Fach lakes, Waun Lefryth, and Fan Brycheiniog. The route includes a 6 mile elevated ridge walk with expansive views over the eastern Beacons. Note the earlier start time!

Distance: 14 Miles

Difficulty: Strenuous

Meeting: 0900 at County Hall, or 1015 at the carpark opposite Tafarn-y-Garreg on the A4067. Note we are starting 30 mins earlier than usual due to the longer-than-usual walk distance. Please call Dave if you plan to meet at the walk start point.

Contact: Dave on 07828621311 for details.

Beach BBQ at Oxwich - Sun 18th July

It's the time of year for relaxing on the beach with some BBQ fayre. On Sunday 18th July, the TT's will be pitching up on Oxwich Bay with BBQs (and hopefully some stuff to cook on 'em) at 1pm. I thought the easiest way of doing it would be for people to bring their own BBQs and food - organising themselves in smaller groups as desired.

Call me, Doug, on 07766652837 for more details.

Caroline's Leaving/Moving Do! - Friday 30th July

Caroline is upping sticks in Swansea and moving to the wilds of Carmarthenshire. Although we'll be sorry to see her go, the TTs wish her all the very best in her new location.

To mark the occasion and give Caroline the send-off she deserves, Lindsey is organising a leaving do on Friday 30th July. We'll be meeting at the Westbourne pub on Bryn-y-Mor Road at 1930 on the Friday, and then going for food later (maybe a curry nearby).

Call Linds on 07540 594527 for more details.

That's it for another week, see you soon.

Cheers,

Doug
