Swansea Ramblers Walk


Wales Air Ambulance
Charity Walk

11th May 2013

Leader: Roger Brown




Swansea Ramblers organised a charity walk from Swansea Airport to Blackhills in order to raise money for the Wales Air Ambulance.  The charity is entirely supported by donations and with no money coming from Welsh Government, it is vital to continue to raise funds to keep the service flying.

We visited the helicopter and met the pilots and medics then walked to the Gower Wildflower Cafe where we had refreshments before walking back to the airport.



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.
