Swansea Ramblers Walk


Chester with Fireworks

11th November 2014

Leader: Clive Scott




Swansea Ramblers had a group weekend away social in the historic city of Chester.  We had some pleasat walking and lovely evening meals socialising and having fun.  We even enjoyed the firework display at Chester Racecourse in the evening.  There was a little rain to start but it soon cleared into a lovely day.



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.
