Swansea Ramblers Walk


Penllergaer

Peter's Birthday walk

A 6-mile Sunday walk

1st January 2023

Leader: Peter Jones




Swansea Ramblers celebrated Peter's birthday by following him on a walk from Penllergare Woods to Penllergaer Forest.   We then made our way to Llangyfelach for lunch befoe returning to the Woodland Estate.  

Twenty-four of us enjoyed a walk where many had not previously ventured.   After the walk, we enjoyed refreshments in the Woodland cafe and some of us then went on to a local hostelry.   



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.
