The Gill swaps his surfboard for a snowboard at Langland Beach, Swansea

Rather than bothering with chop hopping or carpet sweeping Paul Gill aka 'The Gill' grabbed his snowboard and slid down the road from Langland Cove B & B to the beach on a shortcut to Langland golf club which was offering up perfect snow bowls to all the local community rather than 18 holes to the exclusive members of Langland golf course.

Picture below, apres ski in a Langland cafe, Gills next mission is a visit to the Welsh Alps (Merthyr Tydfil & Heads of the Valleys) which of course means no hassles with airports etc 

By the way GSD is a surf company not snow and the Gill proudly tells me that his expensive looking attire is mainly from TK Maxx & jumper by Val Doonican!

 

 

 

 

Must go to Mumbles, located between Swansea Bay, Langland and Caswell By

Nice to see a positive article on Mumbles village in the 2010 Swansea Bay brochure, these are available from www.visitswansebay.com

Mumbles, is a sleepy village light years from London in terms of pace but yet only 4 hours away by train from Paddington. A pint in one of the village pubs costs £2.95 compare that to most other places in the world now and you can get two for the price of one! (Ideal for a hen weekend or stag weekend including a surf session and then party time in Swansea)

Within walking distance of Mumbles you can get to Caswell Beach for a surfing lesson or hire for the more experienced surfers Langland bay is even closer with places to stay right at the beach such as Langland Cove, Langland bay house and Little Langland Hotel.

Lunch or even breakfast can be had at the beaches with a variety of excellent cafes including surfside which does an awesome hot chocolate and a lush tuna salad!

Mumbles last night

Hope you got out and about during the few days of nice weather we have just had here in West Wales. I took these pictures over the last few days with my Nokia E71.  Thought they may cheer us all up and look forward to the weather breaking again on Friday!

Above Sunset over Mumbles Village and Swansea Bay, below a room with a very sunny view, surf is flat though, sorry!
