Third walk on the Gower - all are completely different. On narrow streets first went to the place. Then on a natural path through beautifully green jungle. The way back was highly concentrated across a sheep pasture. Legally of course. Unfortunately we have to go back home tomorrow. It was certainly not the last trip to and in Wales.
