Tawe Trekkers Newsletter - 27th June 2010

Caswell Evening Walk - Thursday 1st July

Bob leads us on a short walk taking in Bishops wood, Brandy Cove and Caswell bay, followed by an opportunity to sample the best beer in the area at the Joiners Arms after the walk.

Distance: 3 miles

Difficulty: Easy

Meeting point: 7.30pm Caswell Bay Car Park or 9pm in the Joiners Arms if you can't make the walk but like the sound of the beer!

Please contact Bob on 07981 963681 (please note this is a different no. to that on the programme!)


Brecon Canal Walk - Sunday 4th July

The lovely Bob leads us again, this time in Brecon! Bob reports this is a very easy walk although eight miles long, and if the weather stays dry sandals will be okay. Much time is spent walking along the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal or the River Usk - both of which are very flat. The walk takes in part of the Usk Valley Walk, Taff Trail, and the Three Rivers Ride and there's a very pleasant country pub in the middle of the walk!

Distance: 8 miles

Difficulty: Easy

Meeting point: County Hall at 0930 or Theatr Brycheiniog, Brecon, LD3 7EW at 1030. Please contact Bob on 07981 963681 if you plan to go straight to the start point in Brecon.



That's it for this week!

Tawe Trekkers Newsletter - 21st June 2010

________________________________

Pembrokeshire Coastal Walk from St. Davids - Sun 27th June

There can be few finer coastal walks than this one! From St. Davids we'll follow an outstandingly wild, beautiful and lonely stretch of coastline, affording views out towards Ramsey Sound, and if we're lucky of some dolphins or seals too!

Emyr leads the way. Note that as this walk will take a bit longer to get to, we'll be leaving County Hall at 900 instead of the usual 930.

Distance: 9 Miles

Difficulty: Moderate

Meeting: 900 at County Hall, or 1030 at the Start Point (the car park near St. David's Cathedral). If you plan to go straight to the start point please call Emyr first.

Contact: Emyr on 07846 879210.

Other Updates

Remember it's our regular pub night at the Brunswick this Thursday - 24th June. As always, all welcome to drop in for a drink and a chat - members old and new, come one come all!

Dave still has a few spaces left on the Pembrokeshire weekend away (Fri 9th to Sun 11th of July). This trip includes some fabulous walking around the Pembs Coastal Path (though not the same route as above!), and an optional boat trip to Skomer Island. Please call Dave as soon as possible for more details or if you'd like to come along (07828621311), or if you can't get hold of Dave call me. There's about 12 people booked on to this already but there are spaces left and Dave needs to fill them to get the discount.

That's it for this week folks, see you soon.

Cheers,

Doug

The highs and lows of Rhossili bay - Saturday 19th

Distance: 4 miles

Difficulty: easy

Short but perfectly formed - and I am referring to the newsletter rather than me!

Tawe Trekkers Newsletter - 7th June 2010

Hi everyone,

Carmarthen Fan - Sunday 13th June - CANCELLED

Doug sends his apologies, but being the popular chap he is, he's accidently double booked himself and needs to be elsewhere next Sunday! Not such a great advert for his super duper iphone, stick to a paper diary Doug it's far easier!! I'm sure this walk will be added to the next programme for us all to enjoy.

But all is not lost..............

Gower Gallop - Saturday 12th June

Don't panic, I know Emyr's the leader but he's obviously still recovering from his epic bike ride and so has opted for the shortest route of 12 miles!!

To allow time for registration Emyr need's everyone to be at the Sports Pavillion in Pennard at 8.30am!! It should be a great walk, please give Emyr a call on 07846879210 for more details and to confirm attendence.
Pub night - Thursdsay 10th June
It's the Tawe Trekkers regular pub night in the Brunswick from 8pm this week!
And finally, a quick message from Paul to say the walk for the Real Ale Ramble weekend that he's organising for later in the year is going to be shorter than advertised, and is now 10 miles. Hopefully that will entice a few more of you!!
Have a good week
Trudi
