Warm sunshine greeted us at the Gower for our weekend away. Hardingsdown Bunkhouse was\u00a0superb well situated\u00a0and with excellent facilities. Our party consisted of 10 club members, including Emma and Anthony who had only got married the previous weekend and three guests.<\/p>\n

There was some superb walking to be had. Gail and\u00a0I arrived at Mid day on Friday and went to Rhossili for a short walk along the headland, stopping for a cuppa\u00a0at the caf\u00e9 at one\u00a0of the caravan sites\u00a0 before returning\u00a0then back along the beautiful sandy beach. The area and views were magnificent and you could see why this area had been designated an area of outstanding natural beauty.<\/p>\n

Saturday dawned fair and bright and we had another\u00a0beautiful day. The group split Colin going birdwatching, Nick Anthony and Emma on an shorter walk whilst the rest of us set off on a circular\u00a0walk from the bunkhouse to Llanmadoc, Rhossili and then back to the bunkhouse. A distance of 14.3 miles.\u00a0(Elevation gain 642 m and elevation loss 641m), over\u00a0meadows, tracks headlands and beaches. Back at the bunkhouse we all enjoyed\u00a0 drinks on the terrace at the back of the bunkhouse, followed by a group meal prepared by\u00a0Michele\u00a0and an entertaining evening with more drinks outside on the terrace.<\/p>\n

Sunday was also fine and sunny and the group again split, some going climbing, others touring the area sight seeing and a third group doing the Oxwich Bay Walk. A walk of 10.2 miles. Again stunning beaches and scenery all enhanced by the sunny weather.<\/p>\n
