Swansea Ramblers Walk


The Three Ponds Walk

18th October 2009

Leader: Gary Evans




Gary led us on a walk to see three ponds:  The community pond behind the playing fields in Upper Killay, the one hidden behind the university playing fields and finally the nature reserve pond in Gelli Hir.



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.
