3 Cliffs Bay


Well, this photo of E pretty much sums up how incredible our adventure was today. The sun wasn't shining, but what more can you expect from Swansea eh? We hopped on our foxes (Silver Fox and Muddy Fox), and made our way into the Gower peninsula. Well, there is a reason why you can't just access 3 Cliffs Bay by car; to see something that "Awesome," must require a little work. It's like Alta Ski Resort... to really ski the good stuff, you HAVE to hike. But that's beside the point, there is no snow here haha. So we ventured towards the Gower Heritage Center. The 2 lane highway we rode was quite the thrilling experience, good thing I was wearing bright green and E had Muddy Fox for safety. We parked our bikes and made our way through the rolling hills and onto the Bay. We stopped halfway, played a few rounds of golf........... no I'm kidding, but the golf course we crossed was so cool. It overlooked the bay, and also Pennard Castle. This old ruin was quite the sight. Well, I'm just going to stop blabbering and show through some photographs.


We got to see the animals in the Heritage
Center without paying... Shhhhhh
We were just led astray for a moment.


But we finally made it to the right path: 





We each hit 2 under on this hole, NBD ;)




















Ugh, these little boogars were everywhere! And they hurt,
especially when D led us through the bushes off the main path.





Horses!!


















Yep, like I said, Bushwhacking!

What a view!


What a drop!






These are everywhere, even in the middle of the city!
"Pooping Dogs Prohibited!" ;)

The Foxes await our return journey home. 

This was my 3 Cliffs Bay souvenir... and it was the second time
I had emptied my shoe's.  

So, E and I both agree... regardless of the weather, today's adventure revealed the best views yet. Until next time!
