News Letter 28.08.2013

Sut Mae Pawb,

Thanks to Robert for bring the curtain down on our summer evening walks program last week,but don't put your shorts away yet! In a change to the program Andy Martin leads us on a mystery walk,I'm sure he's in Turkey planning it,I mean what else could he be doing?

Sunday also sees ten intrepid Trekkers embarking on a nine day lederhosen clad yodelfest through the Austrian Alps,couple with stopovers in Innsbruck and Munich thrown in,not sure which will prove the most challenging! Should be lots of photo's to look at and boring tale tp hear on our return!

Gower Triathlon @ Port Eynon
Saturday 10th August.
Now we’re not expecting you to participate in this sporting event, but if you fancy getting up at the crack of dawn and heading down to Port Eynon, The Tawetrekkers relay team taking part in this Triathlon competition would appreciate your support. Sarah, Trudi and Lindsay have madly agreed to swim 750m, cycle 24km, and run 5km for the fun of it!!!. If you fancy extending the day, then meet at 12 noon at The King Arthur Hotel, Reynoldston for lunch along with the Swansea Outdoor Group, who have also registered a team. Bookings will not be taken. There is scope to do a short walk between the triathlon and lunch, but this will need to be arranged between yourselves. Hope to see you there!

Competition Starts: 7am Port Eynon, Gower
Lunch: 12noon, King Arthur Hotel, Reynoldston

The new years trip is now half full so only 2 weeks before I put the trip out to non members so those interested better get they're skates on to avoid disappointment!
