Swansea Ramblers Walk


NSPCC Charity Walk
Wales Coast Path

Caswell
to
Welsh National
Maritime Museum

7th August 2013

Leader: Ian Botham




A group of Swansea Ramblers joined Ian Botham on a charity walk on the Wales Coast Path.  We raised £105 for the NSPCC and enjoyed a walk in glorious sunshine.

Ian 'Beefy' Botham walked at a very fast 4.5 miles per hour, leaving us and most of the participants far behind in his wake.  It became hotter and hotter then as we reached journey's end, the rain started to fall.

A shorter version of this walk can be seen on the Self-Guided Walks section of Swansea Ramblers' web site.  Just click the Evening Post button above to see maps and details.



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.
