Gower Society Walks

We have been sent this information by the Gower Society which may be of interest for our guests.

Wed. 2nd September. CILIFOR Meet at 10:30 a.m. at Penmaen CP GR 532887 for a moderate 9m/14.5k walk to Cilifor returning over Cefn Bryn with a a bit of a climb at the end of the walk. Lynne Lock Dogs on short leads.

Sat. 5th September. LATE SUMMER ROAMING Meet at 10.30 a.m. at Cefn Bryn CP on the minor road from Cilibion to Reynoldston GR491900 for a 7-8m/11-13k fairly easy walk on common land, woods, fields and some roads and with one climb on to Cefn Bryn. Leader Peter Hutchison Dogs on short leads.

For Sunday walks, boots, waterproofs and warm windproof clothing must be taken, together with sufficient food and drink for the whole day. In the mountains, rough country without recognisable footpaths is often traversed and the going can be difficult.

For Saturday walks, strong shoes should be worn and waterproof clothing should be taken. If on a full day walk, bring a picnic lunch and tea; if a half-day walk, a snack and drink is recommended. For long walks in the hills the advice for Sunday walks applies.

Weekday walks are walked at a leisurely pace and a picnic lunch taken.

Members and Visitors travelling by car should seek permission before parking on private property e.g. car parks of shops and inns etc.

Dogs are welcome on walks, provided that:

• the leader is willing and the walk is suitable. (If not "no dogs " will be stated in the programme.)


• the dog is on a non-extendable lead and controlled by its owner


• the owner is responsible for getting their dog over/under stiles.

Well, our own Gower blog!

We have finally finished the total renovation of the holiday home we bought in Llanrhidian, about half a mile from our own farmhouse, and I love it - would really like to move in myself. It is so light and spacious, with a lovely big rear garden and stunning views over the estuary to Cwm Ivy point and beyond (when not raining of course).

Pictures taken by wonderful brother in law John give some idea of the size and space, and to date the first three families of guests have been very happy, and so have we, the last ones left the house immaculate! Do come back!
