Tawe Trekkers Newsletter - 14th Feb 2011

Saturday 19th February - Margam (by Graham)

This walk on lesser used trails takes us through a wide variety of scenary - a dramatic industrial landscape at the start followed by the desolate flatness of Margam Moors, sand dunes, pastureland, woodland and the sweeping vistas of Margam Park. The river Kenfig is a frequent companion. Sites of interest include Kenfig Castle and an iron age hill fort. On the recce I saw a large herd of deer in Margam Park and some highland cattle grazing in the Kenfig National Nature Reserve.

Distance: 10 miles

Difficulty: Moderate

Meeting point: County Hall at 9.30am or if you wish to meet at the starting point please contact Graham on 07770 435341.

Romania Trip - July

Following the great success of his Germany trip last year, Dave is planning another overseas excursion. This time to the land of brooding castles, Dracula, and wild mountains - Romania! He's proposing an 11 day trip in July with 7 days of hiking, and assures us that it will be very good value for money (flights circa £200 and v cheap accommodation when you're out there). If you're interested then give Dave a call on 07828 621311.
