Swansea Ramblers Walk


Coach trip to Crickhowell
- To walk up Table Mountain

29th August 2015

Leader: Zetta Flew




We hired a coach to take us to the picturesque town of Crickhowell where 39 of us ascended to the top of Table Mountain for some fantastic views.  The weather was lovely and everyone had an enjoyable day out.  Many in our party had not walked up a mountain before so the gentle 5 mile stroll introduced them to an accessible mountain.



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.
