Swansea Ramblers Walk


A night walk in Mumbles
for Sports Relief

14th March 2014

Leader: Karen Gibbs




Swansea Ramblers went for a stroll in the dark to raise money for Sports Relief.  We set off from Underhill Park in Newton using head torches to find our way in the dark.  We climbed onto Mumbles Hill for night time views across Swansea Bay then followed the Wales Coast Path to Langland.  Returning to Newton we went in the Newton Inn and raised over £85 for Sports Relief.



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.
