| 8.2 mile walk from road east of Llangennith. Up minor road to Upper Hardingsdown farm then easy track up to summit of Harding's Down. Then we followed well signposted footpath west then south along slopes of Rhossili Down ascending easily up to summit. Then we followed the scenic ridge north but at Bessie's Meadow took a good footpath into Llangennith. From here we ascended Llanmadoc Hill on track and up to summit following ridge to cairned sub-summit east descending back to car. Afterwards drove to and bagged Ryer's Down and Cefn Bryn. Sunny/breezy conditions with good views across the Gower but a bit too hazy to see much further. | DanTrig | 04/09/2021 |
