Day 7 April 8th Worms Head and Oystermouth Castle

 The forecast was again very good and after discussions it was decided those who were fit and able would go across the causeways to the end of Worms Head and then later on we go to Oystermouth Castle (at the Mumbles).  The tide was low in 

Worms Head in early morning

the morning and ideal conditions for those who wanted to climb the Worms Head to do this.  The less capable of us stayed on the mainland and tried to observe the progress.  It was good to hear the stories when Alexander, Keren, Charlotte, Joshua and Zara returned - some of them having climbed to the top of the end high rock.  

We had a late coffee and then made our way to Oystermouth Castle.  It was

Oystermouth Castle

 a large castle overlooking Swansea Bay with lots of interesting viewing boards and things to do.  One of the 

Fairly old ruins

rooms had some of the original plaster in tact.  There was even a glass floor to the chapel which made an interesting crossing for the children.  The ramparts on the top of the outer walls had to be climbed.  There were some stocks where some of

the unruly elements had to be detained and some ladies and gents tried face insert places making us look like the traditional folk.  All in all a very good time and well worth the visit.

people of distinction?

After our long invasion we went down to the front hoping to catch the land train but were unlucky as it was making its last trip going to the other end of the bay.  We then went back to our

bases and later reassembled at the Worms Head.  We had a good meal on the terrace and then watched the incredible sunset.  Yet another wonderful day.
