CATCHING UP

Sunday the 05/07/2015

Helo pawb,

First of all please accept my apologies for the lack of newsletters recently. I seem to have suffered from a combination of a kick-ass viral infection and Hayfever. Anyway that's enough blubbering. Hopefully I'll be able to keep you all up-to-date on how the walks over the coming months have gone.

I led the Tawe Trekkers this weekend on my favourite Gower walk. Starting in Cwm Ivy we headed straight up Llanmadoc Hill to the ancient fort at its eastern-most end. From there we had what would have been a stunning 360 degree panoramic view of north Gower had the rain not decided to show its face at this point. Despite this we trudged on to its western-most point before heading down to Broughton and Whiteford Bay. At this point the walk would have taken us out to Whiteford Lighthouse but as you can see below the tide stopped us this year. After this we headed back around Whiteford Point towards Llanmadoc where the current closure of the sea-wall path forced use to take a different route back to the car park. This Friday I will be leading a short easy walk up Mumbles Hill. Meet at 7pm at the Pilot if you would like to join us. Please send me a text on 07540746360 to let me know you're coming.
