Swansea Ramblers Walk


Dylan Thomas' 99th Birthday

26th October 2013

Leader: Zetta Flew




To celebrate Dylan's 99th Birthday on the 27th, we went for a stroll in and around Laugharne.  The Dylan Centenary gears up in 2014 and we'll be walking there again in 2014 but to mark this birthday, we went out along the Dylan Birthday walk then over to his grave to pay our respects.

Afterwards we went to Browns for refreshments and to sing happy birthday - not to Dylan but to one of our group who we believe will NOT be 100 this time!



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.
