Swansea Ramblers Walk


Loughor Estuary
(Stepping Stones Short Walk)

22nd May 2010

Leader: Allyson Evans




Al led a walk designed to introduce people to walking.  The riverside car park at Loughor leads to a fairly flat, gentle walk along the riverside.  We had people new to walking as well as some of our older members who wanted a shorter, easier walk.  We crossed the bridge into Carmarthenshire and over the pedestrian bridge to the coast path.  We had lovely sunny weather and a cool breeze, so we didn't overheat.  The short walks continue with occasional Monday walks of about 4 miles and Saturday walks of 6 miles.



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.
