Swansea Ramblers Walk


Lake District
Elterwater Circular

8th May 2010

Leader: John Carlisle




John Carlisle led a low level walk for those who didn't want to do a high-level, harder walk.  Again there was superb visibility and wonderful views but with easier walking, to be inclusive for all our group.  There were tarns and stone bridges and picturesque villages.  Mountain streams cascaded gently to make this a lovely day out in the Lake District



Swansea Ramblers offer a range of walks for most abilities.

Try an easy walk of 2-3 hours or our longer strenuous mountain walks for the experienced walker.

Maybe you'd like to explore walking for the first time with a friendly group of people?
- Come with Swansea Ramblers!

If you'd like to try a Swansea walk then do come along and find out what the great outdoors is all about.

It won't cost you anything to come along and see if walking is for you.
You'll be very welcome to join us for three free walks.

If you enjoy walking with us and want to come on even more of our walks, just become a member.

When you join us for a Swansea Walk, ask us about the other walks and social events we do.
