Helo pawb!

So I'm a little behind on the newsletter. Please find details of the last two weeks below.

Nash Point

On Sunday the 22nd of March Mr Paul 'Bomber' Harris led us on one of his most popular walks around Nash Point, which everyone agreed made a lot of the Gower look like a scene from war torn Germany. The stunning views were actually beaten by the walk along the beach as we had to trudge across rock formations created by centuries of waves and a beautiful cave. The photo opportunities were extroadinary, so it was great to have one of our best photographers to hand for the walk, Mr Emyr Nickels. It was great to see Emyr back with us and I'm sure we all hope to see him again soon. I have put a few of his photographs below in order to show how beautiful a day that we had.

The South Wales 3-Peaks Challenge

A week later a group of the Tawe Trekkers embarked on one of the hardest challenges of the year. Starting in Abergavenny the South Wales 3-Peaks Challenge is a 21 mile walk taking in the challenging climbs of Blorenge, Sugarloaf and Skirrid. A further smaller group also took on the challenge of the 24 mile linear 'Platinum' route. We're pleased to announce that everyone finished the walk safely and we had a fantastic night out in Blaenavon the night after to celebrate. Given the way tha the weather turned out on the day we are very proud of everyone. We would like to once again extend our thanks to Mr David Horton for arranging such an amazing trip and I'm sure we are all looking foreward to what he has in store for us next. You can view a video of us on Sugar Loaf here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--ndfydNuPo

Next Sunday Robert Hall will be leading us on an easy 8 mile walk around the Brecon Canal. This walk is specifically designed to give us some recovery after last weeks challenge. For details of this walk and contact details for Robert please look at the programme page on our website. 

Due to unforseen circumstances I will not be able to lead my planned walk of Kilvay Hill on the 26/04/2015. If you're interested in leading a walk on this date please contact Andrew Bevan on 07791 545342.

Photo Competition

Last year I conducted some monthly photo competitions and as they have proven to be quite opoular I have decided to now conduct them on a more manageable quarterly basis. Please find below three photographs that I consider to be the best taken over the period January - March 2015. If you would like to vote please send an email indicating your favourite to tawe@hotmail.co.uk. Alternatively I will be posting this competition on our Facebook group page so you will also be able to vote there too. One vote per person please. Final count will be taken at 10pm on Friday the 10/04/2015.
