Swansea Ramblers Walk


Leintwardine

16th April 2016

Leader: Richard Beale




Swansea Ramblers had another enjoyable weekend away.  Over 40 people booked on to walk and socialise in the Hereford area.  Based in Leominster at the Talbot Hotel, we had a long and a short walk each day to provide different walking opportunities to suit most tastes.  We had meals out together in the evening then the fun continued as we serenaded the English locals with some fine old Welsh hymns and arias.  The first morning even presented us with a heavy flurry of snow which turned the hills white.



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.
