However, nobody else believes him, certainly neither Barbara nor Rita, to both of whom he has promised marriage, though there is only one engagement ring!

Sat 5th | Gower Walking Festival at All over Gower, Mumbles, Swansea and a bit further afield

The 2010 Gower Walking Festival, taking place between 5 and 21June, will be the biggest yet. Organised by the not-for-profit Mumbles Tourist Association, there will be 55 guided walks on the programme, spread out over sixteen days in (hopefully) flaming June, around glorious Gower, Mumbles and other local settings. And not just traditional walks such as the Gower Gallop, the six-stage Round Gower walks, and the walk right to the nose of the Worms Head, but walks with Apps! The Festival will kick off with Birds! an ornithological walk to listen to the Dawn Chorus, (an early start), and end with Bats!, an evening opportunity to enter the inaudible world of the bat in little-known Peel Wood, with Steve Lucas of the Bat Conservation Trust. In between, you can learn to Nordic Walk, one of the fastest growing exercise sports in Britain, have an Archaeological walk around Llanmadoc, experience Coasteering and Bushcraft, discover Dylan Thomas and Old Swansea, improve your photography, link with literature, make a Sea Shore Safari and maybe even find love by going on the Speed-Dating Walk! There are guided walks for all, and many of the walks will suit families, especially the Mumbles Treasure Trail. Once again, there will be a Photography Competition with all walk participants eligible to enter. Gower Welsh Assembly member, Edwina Hart, will officially open the Festival with the ‘Bay Walk for the Visually Impaired’ at 2pm on Saturday 5 June, 2010, at Blackpill....more info
