Swansea Ramblers Walk


Penclawdd
A 3-mile Evening walk with Ice-cream!

8th September 2022

Leader: Peter Jones




Swansea Ramblers had another of their weekday evening walks to unwind after work.   Peter led us from Penclawdd along the multi-user path then ascended to Wern-olau.

We used the recently diverted Right of Way to return to the foreshore and make our way to GG's Ice-cream parlour and bar.

In GG's, some of us had ice-cream, some had liquid refreshment and some had both! Another lovely evening spent walking and socialising.



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.
