South Gower Cliffs

Sunday 09/08/2015

by Dylan

On Sunday I led a last minute walk around the south Gower cliffs and though the whether wasn't great everyone who came along enjoyed a great day out. A big welcome goes out to newbie Rebecca. I hope she had a good time. Afterwards we enjoyed a nice tipple in the Monksland and rested our aching feet after a long 12 mile jaunt. You can check out a little video of the walk here too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1aZ7KsEWRQ

This coming Sunday we will be walking in the depths of Carmarthenshire in the Cynin valley North of St.Clears. This walk took four days to prepare due to numerous issues with the paths and the Council have responded well to requests for maintenance. So please come along and sample this peaceful area. I can assure you that you will be the only ramblers to have ventured onto some of the route for many years. It's 12 miles and graded as moderate/strenuous but there are no major climbs and the going is pretty good throughout. There's a nice little pub to sample in Meidrim after the walk. It's right by the river.

We'll be trying a new meeting point for walks to the west of Swansea which is Old Llangyfelach Road off junction 47 - head West towards Penllergaer from Junction 47 and take the first left. Drive to the end of Old Llangyfelach Road (a dead end) where there is unrestricted parking. 

We'll meet there at 9.30 as usual. Otherwise I suggest that we meet in Meidrim, North of St. Clears at 10.15. Park in the small car park by the community centre on the East side of the river. We'll drive in convoy from there to the start which is not obvious. Call Graham on 07770 435 341 for further details or to arrange to meet at Meidrim.

Diolch. Dylan.
