My day out......

Firstly, not sure if I've put this in the right place?

As the weather is on the turn, for the better, we're off to Rhossili Bay tomorrow and I can't wait. First time we went, we walked the length of the beach and it took us around 4 hours in total
Don't think we'll walk that again just yet.

Here is a pic of the bay:-



Ooops, apologies if this is too big Not sure how to make it smaller.

Edit: Phew.....it's ok, it corrected itself

Re: My day out......

That's a beautiful beach, Carmen ..... the kind of beach I like, quiet, miles of sand with rolling green hills behind and not forgetting the sheep. Back to nature!

Re: My day out......

It is beautiful.. shame its so close to Swansea!!!! I layed on that beach a few years ago at Easter and it was an amazing warm day.. Suddenly a dark eerie shadow approached from behind and as I looked over my shoulder a rather alarmed face hooded by a paragliding set up came down and I moved like a rat up a drainpipe!! The bloke was so embarrased but fortunately unhurt

Re: My day out......

Your picture really cheered me up Carmen, as I remember that beach from my childhood when camping in Wales with my parents....I must try and get back there one of these days now that you have reminded me....

Re: My day out......

I'm back and I'm absolutely pooped!!

Had a fabulous day out and despite what I said previously, ended up walking down to the beach....that wasn't so bad, but it was the long haul back up to the top again My thighs are killing me.

Not many people on the beach (probably didn't want the steep climb back up again).

Rhossili Bay is in the Gower Azz

What's wrong with Swansea Cassie? It is in Swansea

Barry: I think you might find that it hasn't changed much being as its owned by National Trust It's beautiful and so tranquil there.

I shall put some pics in my album tomorrow.....much too tired right now
