Our walk was from the campsite this time, which was nice not to have to rely on any public transport and set times to get anywhere. We walked to the top of Skirrid, another hill with beautiful views! Some of this route was quite steep near the top, but so worth it to get up for the picnic spot!! It wasn’t so windy as yesterday so we were able to have lunch at the top before walking back to the campsite.

We travelled from Pandy to Gowerton today. It was a tricky journey!! Lots of road works, and we thought at one point we were travelling the wrong way down the road which was scary - it wasn’t clear whether we could drive in that direction! I was relieved once we were out of that area, as I had been navigating and not finding it fun!
Once we had pitched up at the campsite, we caught the train to Swansea. It was quite cheap - we have found public transport to be really expensive in some places! One of the vegan cafes we had researched to visit closed at 4pm, so we got there around 3pm, it was a really nice cafe. One of the staff members suggested we visit Mumbles, so we decided to catch the bus following her advice. Buses were free Friday to Monday each week until 7pm, which is great!
Mumbles is a nice area - quite popular. The beach is so nice, sandy and stretching to Swansea and beyond, so we walked back that way. Compared to other beaches, it is so quiet, despite such nice weather! Along the seafront is a cycle lane and there are Santander Bikes that are available to hire per 30 minutes. I haven’t ridden a bike for years but it is the perfect place to do it, and we feel cycling is one thing we haven’t done during this roadtrip, so we will aim to do this tomorrow.
After looking around at Swansea having caught the bus back, we got the train back to the campsite. I can’t believe it was travelling day today - we have done so much!! It has been really enjoyable. Looking forward to tomorrow and the next day.
