Programme – Swansea Ramblers We Offer Short & Long Walks All Year Programme – Swansea Ramblers We offer short & long walks all year around and welcome new walkers to try a walk with us. 1 Front Cover Photograph: Exploring countryside above Crynant v14 2 Swansea Ramblers’ membership benefits & events We have lots of walks and other events during the year so we thought you may like to see at a glance the sort of things you can do as a member of Swansea Ramblers: Programme of walks: We have long, medium & short walks to suit most tastes. The summer programme runs from April to September and the winter programme covers October to March. The programme is emailed & posted to members. Should you require an additional programme, this can be printed by going to our website. Saturday walks: Weekly Saturday walks are a great way to begin exploring the countryside and are no more than 6 miles in length. Occasionally there may be a longer walk in addition to the shorter walk. Sunday walks: These alternate every other week between longer, harder walking for the more experienced walker and a medium walk which offers the next step up from the Saturday walks. Weekday walks: These take place on different days and can vary in length. Most are published in advance but we also have extra weekday walks at short notice. Short Introductory walks: We provide occasional 2-3 mile walks, mostly on a weekday as an introduction to walking. Evening walks: These are about 2-3 miles and we normally provide these in the summer. We hope to offer more in the future. Social events: These include events such as meals out or boat trips on the Tawe. This is a great way to meet and get to know your fellow walkers. Details are emailed to members nearer the time so please make sure you have given us your email address. Weekends away: These take place at least once a year and details are emailed to our members. Practical Work: We liaise with City & County of Swansea to ensure paths remain open for you to use and we have a regular team of volunteers who clear paths with the council throughout the year, so if you wish, you can come along on a work party and make a practical difference to walking in the area. 3 Making a difference: We helped to create walking routes such as the Gower Way and the Wales Coast Path. As a walking charity, we take part in discussions to improve access to the countryside and encourage more people to walk. If you would like to be involved in the running of Swansea Ramblers or maybe our Glamorgan Area council of local Ramblers’ groups, please let us know. Practical training: For anyone interested in helping us to provide more walks on the programmes, we are always happy to help our members learn how to lead a walk. Just ask one of us on a walk or contact the membership secretary. Occasionally, we are able to provide training courses run by Ramblers GB or the City & County of Swansea. Swansea Ramblers Website: www.swansearamblers.org.uk On the website, you’ll find lots of interest and a gallery of photographs showing previous walks. Photographs are taken on most walks then used to publicise Swansea Ramblers on the web and in periodicals such as Evening Post, What’s On, Swansea Life, etc. For many new members, these photographs are their first introduction to our group and part of the reason they choose to walk with us. Information about Walking Gear: If you are new to walking, it can be a bit daunting to work out what gear to take on a walk. Whether it’s which boots are right for you or what type of waterproof clothing you may need, the ‘Go walking’ section of our national website, www.ramblers.org.uk, can help with useful advice to help you choose what equipment is right for you. It can also be visited by entering this link in your browser: http://www.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/advice-for- walkers/equipment.aspx Email list: We email to our members the programme of walks, newsletters and other information such as social events or changes to the published programme. If you have just become a member and have already provided your email address, we will begin sending you this information. If you have not yet given us your email, please contact membershipAtswansearamblers.org.uk and we’ll ensure you receive these updates. Please add infoATswansearamblers.org.uk to your email contacts and “safe senders list” to ensure you receive our emails to your inbox. (Replace “AT” with @). 4 Walking with us Publicity photographs for our website We take photographs and video of our walks to publicise our programme on the web and in newspapers/periodicals, etc. If you do not wish to appear in these then please let the leader know each time you join a walk. Additional walks after the programme has been printed These may be planned at short notice. Details will be emailed to members and appear on the web at least 5 days before the walk. If you can volunteer to lead a walk, please contact the walk co-ordinator. Joining a walk Our walks are social and newcomers are especially welcome. If you have enjoyed three of our walks and wish to continue to walk regularly with us, we will be pleased to invite you to become a member. Occasionally there are 1st year discounts so please ask for details. You will need suitable footwear and clothing, enough food and drink plus a small First Aid pack. While the safety of members is always of paramount concern, accidents may occasionally occur so please carry ID and contact numbers. It is also important to appreciate that you have a responsibility for the safety of both yourself and fellow walkers. Additional advice about joining a walk. • Walk gradings are provided as a general guide only. If you have any doubt about your fitness for a particular walk please contact the organiser or leader in advance. • Bear in mind the distance of the walk, regional differences in terrain and the possibility of bad weather, which can make a walk more difficult than planned. • If you're unsure of your fitness level, try a short and easy walk first - it's much better to find a walk a little too slow and easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted. • Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit. 5 Walks are graded as follows:- • Easy Access - walks for everyone, including people with conventional wheelchairs and pushchairs, using easy access paths. Comfortable shoes or trainers can be worn. Assistance may be needed to push wheelchairs on some sections, please contact the leader running the walk for details. • Easy - walks for anyone who does not have a mobility difficulty, a specific health problem or is seriously unfit. Suitable for pushchairs if they can be lifted over occasional obstructions. Comfortable shoes or trainers can be worn. • Easy/Moderate - walks for reasonably fit people with at least a little country walking experience. May include unsurfaced rural paths. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are recommended. • Moderate - walks for people with country walking experience and a good level of fitness. May include some steep paths and open country, and may be at a brisk pace. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential. • Strenuous - walks for experienced country walkers with an above average fitness level. May include hills and rough country, and may be at a brisk pace. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential. People in doubt about their fitness should contact the organiser or leader in advance. • Technical - walks for experienced and very fit walkers with additional technical skills. May require scrambling and use of ropes, ice axes and crampons. You must contact the organiser or leader in advance for further details. Using Public Transport Members are encouraged to plan/attend walks using public transport. Information from Traveline Cymru (Tel: 0871-200-22-33) http://www.traveline-cymru.info/ and http://www.baytrans.org.uk/. Car Sharing To avoid disappointment, those wishing to request a lift should do so in advance of the walk rather than arrive at the meeting point expecting a lift to be available. Passengers should contribute towards the driver’s petrol costs. After a walk, the driver may intend to return immediately or have refreshments & socialise with the group, so please confirm the driver’s wishes before accepting a lift. 6 Walking Etiquette –Safety at all times! We are all responsible for our own safety and that of others on the walk. We need to keep together and not stride out ahead of the leader or force the pace. Participants should not leave the group during the walk without reference to the leader or the back-marker. This may cause the walk leader (& emergency services) to waste time looking for you! Dogs on walks Four-legged companions are welcome where we do not go near livestock. Unfortunately farm animals can be disturbed even by the presence of a well-behaved dog on a lead and the walk description indicates whether a dog is allowed on that walk. It remains a leader’s decision if they think a walk is unsuitable for dogs. To ensure safety of other walkers and to prevent dogs chasing animals, all dogs must remain on a non-extendable short lead. The majority of footpaths in the countryside will at some point cross a number of stiles where it may be necessary for a dog’s owner to carry their dog over these stiles.

  • Riding on Beaches and Estuaries
    ADVICE ON Riding on Beaches and Estuaries 2 There are a number of beaches around England, Wales and Ireland that allow riding and BHS Approved centres that offer the opportunity to ride on a beach. There are many health benefits of riding on a sandy beach for horse and rider. Long sandy stretches are good for building up fitness levels and often the sand can encourage muscle tone and strength. It can provide outstanding views of the sea and is a refreshing way to see areas of beauty throughout the coasts of England, Wales and Ireland. Beach riding can be a wonderful experience for both you and your horse if you are aware of a few points of legality and safety, so please read all the guidance in this leaflet. Estuaries are where rivers meet the sea and they are unpredictable places, requiring caution and respect for the variety of conditions underfoot, the special ecology and the potential risks in riding there. While large expanses of open ground look inviting to riders, some of the conditions encountered may be dangerous. However, with due care and knowledge, estuaries can provide excellent riding opportunities. Is riding on the beach permitted? Check that riding on the beach is permitted. It may be limited to certain times, days or areas and there may be bylaws. Restrictions on time will often be to riders’ benefit, being at quieter periods such as early morning and late evening when there may be fewer other users to avoid. If there are areas where riding is not permitted, be sure you are clear about their extent and avoid them carefully; their boundaries may not be obvious even if they are above high water because signs and fences tend not to last long on the shore or may not be permitted.

  • Glamorganshire
    Glamorganshire The vice-county of Glamorganshire can be roughly split into three areas. Gower has acidic sandy soils with clay between heathland commons. South of the M4, the Vale of Glamorgan is generally low-lying with clay, impermeable brown earths and sandy free-draining soils all of which are slightly calcareous and good for growing crops. North of the M4 the land grades into mountains and the soils are wetter stagnogleys much more suited to pastoral farming. Small scale arable cultivation was a feature of the mixed farming in the area as shown by the 1930s land use survey which is considered a low point in arable cultivation. Growing crops will probably have increased during the World Wars in the 20th Century as there was a greater need to be more self-reliant, and the advent of herbicides and inorganic fertilisers in the mid 20th Century has led to an increase in crop production in some areas as weed control has improved. Arable land has been restricted to the better cereal growing soils of Gower and the south of the Vale of Glamorgan in both the 1930s and 1990s land use surveys. However, there has been a 20% contraction in arable land between these two time periods and a concentration of arable land into larger blocks in the latter land use survey. This could be caused by a number of reasons including the general change in farming businesses towards more livestock farming and pastoral land; the increase in herbicides and fertiliser costs which may lie beyond the means of small-scale farms; and the volatility of cereal prices may also have led to a decline in small-scale arable cropping with high yields only breaking even in some years, thus larger farms becoming more economical and the coagulation of cultivated land.

This note will not form part of the final published SPG. The Purpose of the Document The Council, at its meeting on the 27th January 2016, adopted the Local Development Plan (LDP) which now provides the basis for decisions on land use planning in the County Borough up to 2026. Whilst the LDP contains sufficient information and policies to provide the basis for the determination of planning applications through the development management process, opportunities have been identified throughout the Plan for further detailed guidance to be provided on particular issues. Selective use of SPG is a means of setting out more detailed topic or site specific guidance on the way in which the policies of the LDP will be applied in particular circumstances or areas.
