South Gower - Bishopston Valley - Sunday 11th

Starting at Caswell Bay and taking in much of the variation in landscape of the surrounding area of south-east Gower, Martin leads us on a re-run of a local walk that winds it way through through Bishopston Valley and later passes Pwlldu Bay. This walk is both for those who were unable to make it last time and for those who have done it before where the later season makes some the environments we pass through completely different to before. The walk can be expected to be quite muddy in places, even if it is dry on the coast or has not being raining for sometime.

Difficulty: Moderate (with some short steep climbs / descents)

Distance: 7.75 miles

Meeting point: Meet at County Hall at 9:30 or 10:15 at Caswell Bay car park (Grid Ref: SS 5935 8765 - on the opposite side of the road to the car park). For more details please contact Martin S (07743593068).

Programme meeting - Thursday 8th

Yes folks it come around to that time again when we need to put together our autumn/winter programme of walks. We will be meeting in the Vivian Pub (Sketty) from 7.30 pm so please come along with any walks you have in mind or indeed any social events. The more options we have the better. If you can't make Thursday but would like to lead a walk or have a social event you would like to see on the programme please contact Emyr (07846879210), Christian (07921840629) or Doug (07766652837).

A note from Robert

Last week once again the Tawe Trekkers pub quiz team were one question away from winning first prize and ended up with third place instead. And embarrassingly one of the questions we got wrong was the colour of secondary roads on Ordnance Survey maps. But if I had a map with me at the time I would have argued that the colour can be interpreted as orange or brown! Anyway, we need your help to answer just one more question correctly. We meet at 9 pm every Tuesday at The Westbourne in Bryn-y-Mor Road and it would be good to see you there. Contact Robert 07981 963 681 if more information required or just turn up.

That's it for now...
