Greetings fellow Trekkers,

I trust that you have all written your Christmas present lists to Santa and sent them off to Greenland for his consideration ? If not, then please hurry, because a little bird told me that he is especially busy this year and that first come, first served is the order of the day!!! Ho,ho,ho.

Since my last posting a great deal has been happening in the world of Tawe trekking. On Rememberance Sunday (9th November) Graham led a walk to Carrig Coch to pay respect to the airmen who died on the hillside when their Wellington Bomber crashed during World war two. Having participated in this service before, and despite not being there myself this year, I am certain that for those who attended it was a moving experience, the mist adding atmosphere and solemnity to this annual event.Thanks Graham. Thanks also to Kyle who took and posted some exceptional photos of the crash site.

Janet and Shona took the reins on the 16th of November and led a pleasant walk through Dyffryn woods and up Drymmau mountain, passing through the Darren woods before finishing the walk in Cwm Clydach nature reserve. We were joined on this romp by several members of the swansea outdoor group. Thanks Janet.

On the 20th of November the more erudite among us pitted their wits at the quiz night at the Westbourne pub. As yet, details of a successful (or not) result are still to be leaked.

The programme meeting took place at The Vivian pub in Sketty on the 21st of November.We can thus all look forward to plenty more winter walks on the upcoming programme.Thanks to all who participated at this meeting and to all of you who volunteered to lead.

Dylan leads the walk this coming Sunday (23rd of November) around a less well explored area of North Gower. Starting from Landimore, the route will pass through Cheriton and Stembridge, finishing with a meal (optional) in The Greyhound. For more details please refer to the Tawe Trekkers programme page.

That's all for now folks,

Paul
