Headed off for the Gower peninsular, calling in at the National Botanical Garden of Wales on the way.The garden had interesting features like a geological walk, meadows and of course the great glasshouse. Some areas need a couple more years yet, but worth another visit.
The drive to the Gower was interesting, with ponies grazing on the roadside.
The roads got narrower and steeper, and eventually I arrived at Oxwich Bay. I stayed at a campsite at a small village called Slade, just me, a family in a transit and a fisherman in a tiny tent. Lovely views, and you could walk down to the beach - although you needed to use a rope to get on to the sands!
Driving through Slade I went past a builder, who's radio was playing - 'Cum on feel the Noize'! What are the chances? No sign of Lennie Godber though sadly.

The next day I went for a nice walk down to Oxwich and had a sunbathe on the beach, followed by a coffee at a beach shack. Got a soaking on the hill back up to the campsite though, a torrential downpour - and I'd been paddling in the sea only 15 mins previously.
