Swansea Ramblers Walk


First Aid Training

2nd April 2023

Instructor: Jill Pritchard




Swansea Ramblers periodically arrange to train volunteers to administer First Aid when on a walk.   We all hope that we never have to use the skills we learn but it is always a good idea to know what we need to do while we wait for professional medical help.

One of our members is a fully qualified nurse and First Aid Instructor.   We are very grateful Jill has given up her free time to ensure some of our members are ready to assist, should an incident happen while on a walk.   



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.
