From a few days of downpours, today was a contrast, cold but bright. A cycle ride was in order to blow the cobwebs away. I decided to start at Lougher Bridge and cycle to Swansea Bay utilising NCN 4 which is mainly traffic free.

The route leads from Lougher to Gowerton and then down the Clyne Valley and then onto Swansea Bay.
I turned right and headed out to Limeslade Bay for a coffee cycling through Mumbles and passing Verdis cafe and onto Fortes cafe.

The way back was just a reversal of the route.
There was room for a quick grumble in that the Swansea Bay trail is a shared path but with clearly distinguished separation for walkers and cyclists. It’s a pity those walking ignore this separation!!.
