Swansea Ramblers Walk


Blackpill

An easy, short 3-mile walk from the Woodman

17th October 2023

Leaders: Chris Roberts and Ruth Stephens




Swansea Ramblers had an inclusive walk of just 3 miles along the flat.   We started from the car park by the Woodman Inn and walked along the beach to Brynmill Lane.

It was an easy-paced walk suitable for beginners and some of our members who have health issues.   At Brynmill Lane, we joined the promenade and made our way back to the Woodman.

This walk gave some of our members an opportunity to enjoy an accessible group walk since they are not able to do some of our longer walks.

We intend to add more of these walks to our weekday programme so more people can enjoy a walk and a chat with a friendly group of walkers.

After the walk, most of us went into the Woodman where we enjoyed socialising over a drink.   



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.

At the bottom of Brynmill lane, we started the return journey on the promenade

Which was looking very autumnal

A fairly flat walk so not too taxing

And with great views across the bay

Then back to Blackpill and into the Woodman
