The rain clouds parted for the <A href="http://www.uwshiking.org.uk/gallery/cefn-bryn05">Cefn Bryn</A> night hike, providing views of both the stars and across to north Devon! The trip to <A href="http://www.uwshiking.org.uk/gallery/fan-fawr05">Fan Fawr</A> last Sunday again had glorious clear sunny day, take a look at some of the <A href="http://www.uwshiking.org.uk/gallery/fan-fawr05/IMG_489">amazing</A> <A href="http://www.uwshiking.org.uk/gallery/fan-fawr05/IMG_0517">views</A> <A href="http://www.uwshiking.org.uk/gallery/fan-fawr05/IMG_0534">in</A> <A href="http://www.uwshiking.org.uk/gallery/fan-fawr05/IMG_0545">the</A> <A href="http://www.uwshiking.org.uk/gallery/fan-fawr05/P1010101">gallery</A>.<BR> <BR> Our walk this <STRONG>Sunday 20th November</STRONG> takes us back to the Gower, but to the North for a change, to <A href="http://www.uwshiking.org.uk/gallery/weobley04"><B>Woebly Castle</B></A>. This fairly gentle <STRONG>A/B walk</STRONG> takes us to the less well known part of this area of outstanding natural beauty, starting from Llanrhidian and walking past the castle, and heading down to the coast at Llangennith. Costs<STRONG> £2.50<BR> <BR> The </STRONG>Cheddar Gorge Weekend Away is fast approaching, your chance to sign up is on Tuesday the 22nd in JC's at 6pm. The trip will be from <STRONG>Friday 25th to Sunday 27th November</STRONG>, and is an <STRONG>A/B graded weekend</STRONG>. It takes us to the spectacular Cheddar Gorge, the Mendip Hills and the odd Cider farm!. Cost is <STRONG>£25</STRONG>.<BR> After the signup we are off to <B>Lazer Zone</B>, giving you the opportunity to enjoy oneself shooting the mean old committee with harmless lasers, afterwards we'll probably head down wind street for a few. More details in next weeks email!<BR> <BR> Also, from this week, get your hands on a ticket for the annual hiking club <STRONG>Christmas Dinner</STRONG> at the swanky Oxwich Bay Hotel! This is the highlight of the club social calendar for this term, and takes place on <STRONG>Monday December 12th</STRONG>. Tickets will be on sale this week at sign ups, and at all club events. Ticket price is <STRONG>£21</STRONG>, which includes coach travel to and from the hotel, full <STRONG>three-course meal</STRONG> (including a free glass of wine!) and a super-cheesy disco to round off the evening! There will be a deadline for sales, so get your tickets as soon as you can.<BR><BR> </SPAN><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span">And finally, another reminder about the <B>t-shirt competition</B>, for which the <B>closing date</B> is noon on <B>Monday December 4th</B>. If you fancy getting your design on peoples backs, or just like the sound of a<B> free T-shir</B><B>t</B>, get your pencils out! We need a A4 sized design for the the back, and 10 x 10cm logo for the front, the design must include "Swansea University Hiking Club 2005/6" somewhere, so us older members don't forget what year it was from.</SPAN></DIV><DIV>If your stuck for inspiration take a look at<A href="http://www.uwshiking.org.uk/archive/tshirts"> past years designs</A>.<SPAN class="Apple-style-span"><BR> </SPAN></DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>--</DIV><DIV>Chris Jones, Hiking Club Chairman</DIV><DIV><A href="http://www.uwshiking.org.uk">http://www.uwshiking.org.uk</A></DIV></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
