Our Ramble group was out and about this week with another lovely fresh air walk.

We travelled by VEST Community Transport to Cold Knapp and walked all along the coast, through the Knapp Gardens, around the lake where there were swans and ducks a plenty. The Model boat club were there too sailing their sail boats. We walked around the harbour and Friars point to Whitmore Bay (Barry main beach) where we stopped for our lunch break. Most of us opted for chips!

The weather was very humid and the sky was cloudy.

After lunch we continued along the prom and over to Jacksons Bay. It was then the heavens opened and we had a very refreshing rain shower. Most of the group were sheltered at this point, but they did find it funny hearing and watching everyone run off the beach for shelter.

Thank you to our Volunteer Sighted guides, we couldn't have these walks without your support.
#GoSightLife!

Thank you to Gordon VEST Community Transport for transporting us safely.

Could you walk with our members and be a Sighted Guide? Our ramble group goes out and about every month and we would love to hear from you. Please contact [email protected] or call 02920 398 900 for more information.
