Swansea Ramblers Walk


Southgate Evening Walk

31st July 2014

Leader: Andrew Morgan




The summer sunshine that had been with us for weeks today disappeared into heavy showers on and off all day.  The rain magically stopped as we drove into the car park at Southgate and it stayed dry throughout this Gower walk.

Thirteen of us enjoyed an evening Gower stroll and thought of the others who hadn't turned up because of the rain in Swansea!  A Gower walk in the evening is a lovely way to finish the day and unwind after work.  Some of us then went back to Bishopston for a Social in the Joiners Arms.



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.
