Swansea Ramblers Walk


Llangennech

10th November 2013

Leader: Gail Allen




This Swansea Walk took place outside of Swansea on the other side of the Loughor Estuary.  Gail took us to Llangennech to visit Troserch Woods and see great views to Whiteford Point and the surrounding area.

;Being Remembrance Sunday, we held a Two Minutes Silence before continuing on our way.  A tranquil estuary view provided a tea stop before we made our way back to the start then onto a local pub for a bit of a social.



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.
