In this Spring/Summer issue of Peninsula weare focusing on the National Trust’s campaign‘Outdoor Nation’.

Visit www.outdoornation.org.uk

On a local level, we want more people to ‘getout and about’ and discover what Gower hasto offer – from a walk in the woods for thoselooking for peace and quiet, to the moreadrenalin-filled sports for those seeking anactive pastime – Gower has it all!

All our articles in this issue are focused onthe great outdoors – so we’re sure there’ssomething for everyone, whether you want tojoin us for one of our guided walks, try outsome of the outdoor games and activitieswith the kids, join in with our volunteeringopportunities, or pay a visit to our shop atRhossili and take in the stunning views.

2011 is the ‘Year of the Bat’ and to celebratethis we’ve added a Bat Walk to our exciting

events programme. For information on thisand all our other events in 2011, see page 14.

Enjoying Gower is good for you - fact!

So what are your bestand earliest memories?As you’re reading Peninsulathere is a strong chance thatlike me, it will be having funon a beach; you’ll love theoutdoors and the freedom itbrings- we know that 535,000people walk in Rhossili everyyear - so they feel the same way.

And maybe, like me, youwould be astounded to knowthat 1 in 5 people in the UKhave not walked on a naturalsurface in the past year.

As the UK populationincreases, 80% of us nowlive in cities spending moretime indoors. So what is thisdoing to our state of mindand that of our children?

Children haven’t changedbut the conditions in whichthey play have.

Today’s children have lessfreedom to roam, have morecontrolled and timetabledlives, and less exposure tothe natural world than theirparents or grandparents.

There isn't much room left forspontaneous, unmediatedactivities such as playingpooh sticks, building a denor simply mooching aroundaimlessly on the nearest bitof waste ground- these arethe activities that feed theimagination and enthusiasm.Contact with the naturalworld is as essential as sleepand good nutrition- if we loseit will it ever come back?

The impact of this loss ofcontact is two fold:

� physical: obesity levels for6 year olds have doubledin the past decade; for 15year olds, they have trebled

� mental health is also givingmajor cause for concern:1 in 8 boys and 1 in 10girls aged between 11 and17 have a diagnosedmental health problem

Nature Deficit Disorder is nota medical definition. It is thelabel that Richard Louv usesto describe this phenomenonin his book ‘Last Child in theWoods’. It can be cured righton your doorstep on Gower -the prescription can be foundon pages 4 and 5.

Meanwhile, some 26% ofteenagers believe that baconcomes from sheep and

childrenare more likely to recognise a Dalek than a magpie. Also, one third of all under16s avoids playing outdoorsbecause they don't want toget their clothes dirty.

It is obvious by the increasingpopularity of wildlifeprogrammes that we all stillhave a huge interest in natureand the outdoors, so whyaren’t we out there enjoying it?

In Wales we are very lucky tobe so close to nature,whether it is in our gardens,parks or further afield- and itreally is good for the soul.

So make sure you get agood helping of the outdoorsthis year, much better for youand your family than seeing iton the box inthe corner,and muchmore fun...

...and youare just aslikely to seethe Tardis onGower!

If you don’t get out into Gower’s greatoutdoors – what’s stopping you?

There’s so much to choose from on Gower,something for everyone from the extreme tothe relaxing. The peninsula is only 14 mileslong and about 7 miles wide and yet there is somuch variety and choice of what to see, whereto go and what to do.

Gower was the first designated Area ofOutstanding Natural Beauty in 1956. Within theAONB area there are over 190 miles (304km) offootpaths and over 50 miles (87km) ofbridleways. Pick up a walks leaflet or book,follow a waymarked trail, make up your ownroute from an OS map, go on a guided walk orbike ride, or just go for a wander – safelyplease (don’t get lost!).

As well as the National Trust leading guidedwalks, there are a number of other localgroups too; Gower Society, ReynoldstonRamblers and the annual Gower WalkingFestival in June amongst many.

Kite flying is easy to do on Gower with itsmany open spaces and generally breezyconditions. To buy kites or just for advicecontact the Gower Kite Centre at PittonCross.

Sit back and enjoy the views of Gower’sstunning beaches and cliffs from the comfortof a boat with Gower Coast Adventures.

Gower Heritage Centre which is basedaround a working 12th century water mill has lots to see and do both indoors and out.

Is easy access to great views what you’reafter? How about visiting Oxwich, PortEynon, Rhossili, Cefn Bryn or LlanrhidianMarsh. There are a number of car parks onGower, public toilets, shops, cafés, takeaways and pubs, so make a day of it.

The Gower Explorer buses run all year round,more frequently in the summer, go online tocheck out the bus times.

From pony trekking to archery, Gower has anactivity for everyone.

Do you get out into Gower’s great outdoors? What floats your boat?Walking? Horse riding? Surfing? Kayaking? Fishing? Rock climbing?Cycling? Kite flying? Soaking up the views? Chilling out on a beach?

And then there’s my favourite; cycling.Gower’s not exactly flat, but you can alwayspush your bike up the hills! Discover Gower’sbridleways or make use of the network ofroads and quiet lanes. If you prefer to go onorganised bike rides there’s the annual SouthWales Bike Ride (formerly the Gower BikeRide) and the Gower Cycling Festival whichwas launched last year.

Unfortunately, this is the last article fromSarah. She has left Gower to take up apost as Ranger in North Cornwall – readmore about this on page 12

The companies mentioned are just a few ofthe activity providers on Gower. TheNational Trust is not responsible for any ofthe activity providers and does not endorseany of the companies mentioned.

Work programme...

The areas of West Cliff cleared last yearwere re-done primarily by tractor, thoughthe work had to be postponed at timesdue to the very wet conditions on theground, which would have done moredamage than good. Those areasinaccessible by tractor were cut by handor strimmers. We also opened up the pathto Heatherslade which we will keep clearas part of our summer footpath work.

One of our regular contractors continued withthe work started last year on improving habitaton the South Gower Coast around Fall Bay.More gorse was cleared from around areas ofregenerating heather, and to allow limestonegrassland species to thrive.

At Rhossili, on the Vile we completed all theboundary work, including putting in fences,gates and stiles. A contractor then installedwater troughs in various locations, once theground has thawed out enough to put in theconnecting pipes. We now have new tenants inplace, actively farming the land and the area islooking really good.

Following an outside fireat Burrows Cottage, CwmIvy, one of our holidaycottages, we have planteda new hedge around theback of the garden. Theold hedge and log shedwere completelydestroyed in the fire andwe were lucky the windwas blowing in a directionso as not to set fire to theadjoining woodland.

With Easter here, a very lateone this year, we will havefinished our winter scrubclearance programme. Our main efforts this winter were againat Pennard, but this time on East Cliff.This was primarily to maintain a firebreak between properties and thecommon, but also to restore thelimestone grassland habitat, as well asexpose and remove dumped gardenwaste and discourage further dumping.We actively discussed the work with thelocal residents to ensure a satisfactoryresult for both themselves andconservation purposes.

Bat Facts!

Take a matchbox with you and see what you cancollect – you’ll be amazed at what you can find, in the woods, on the beach, or just in your garden.

Try and fill your matchbox with as many different natural objects as possible - not living ones of course!

Leaves, shells, seeds, are just a few...

...see what you can find!

Nature Matchbox

Bat droppings make good compost.

All bats in the UK eat insects, someup to 3,000 bugs in one night!

There are over 900different species ofbats, with 17 of thesespecies found inthe UK.

Bats are nocturnal; they are mostactive at night and sleep duringthe day hanging upside-down.

Bats live in roosts.

They are found in

lots of places, in

trees, caves, and

even houses!

Bats are the only flying mammals

Bat and Moth!

Did you know that bats detect their prey by using amethod called echolocation?This means that they find things using echos - the bats send outsound waves which bounce off their prey - a bit like when you shoutand sometimes hear your echo.

Why not play a game of Bat and Moth to see if youcan catch your prey?

What you will need...

a group of friends and a blindfold

1. All form a circle, except 2 people in the middle.2. One of these becomes the bat, the other the moth.3. The bat is then blindfolded (or they can close their eyes

– no peeping!) 4. The moth tries to get away from the bat, but

has to stay within the circle.5. The bat has to catch the moth by calling out ‘bat’

and the moth then has to reply by calling out ‘moth’.This is the sound the bat must follow to catch its prey.

6. The moth can move away from the bat, but must stay within the circle.

Once the moth is caught, chose a new bat and moth and play again.

The Swallows returned in April and are now hatching their first brood, they fly hither andthither catching insects on the wing and I can hear the Cuckoo calling from the marsh field.

Cwm Ivy Tor is covered in Cowslips, Bluebells, PyramidalOrchids and Meadow Saxifrage which have become moreevident now that the sheep have been grazing in the Autumnand the volunteers have taken out most of the scrub – what aglorious sight!

As I come over the hill towardsthe dune slacks I can hear theunmistakeable sound of Choughcalling. As I turn the corner, therethey are, four beauties poking

around with their brilliant red beaks. I have seen these fourbefore, usually on Hill’s Tor and I wonder if they are nestingon the cliffs?

As I turn to walk along the tide line towardsthe lighthouse, I notice that there are lots ofjellyfish left by the tide. There seem to bemany more these days, is this a sign ofglobal warming? I wonder if there are anyLeatherback Turtles out in the Burryestuary, as they eat jellyfish. This is goodreason for not using plastic bags becauseif they end up in the sea, turtles oftenconfuse them with jellyfish and eat them,causing them to choke and die.

The flocks of over-wintering waders,ducks and geese have now gone to theirbreeding grounds, usually in the far north.

I work as a part-time PropertyAdministrator at Little Reynoldston Farm,but, along with my husband Paul, I am alsoa Voluntary Warden for Whiteford BurrowsNational Nature Reserve.

I can think of nothing more exhilaratingthan getting up just after dawn on a

beautiful Spring morning and going for awalk through the National Trust WhitefordReserve.

The foreshore is muchquieter, but the dunes ring tothe sound of Skylarks andMeadow Pipits and thehaunting sound of nestingLapwing and Ringed Plover.

As I follow the path throughthe Reserve I notice thebeautiful butterflies which abound;Marbled White, Small Tortoiseshell,Peacock, Small Blue and the visiting RedAdmiral and Painted Lady. I notice thatthey sit with their wings open facing thesun in the morning before they spend theday flying around.

The butterflies love to feed onthe Burnet Rose and thefabulous Viper’s Bugloss.There are so many plantsflowering in the dune slacks atthis time of year, my favouritesbeing the different types ofOrchid, Marsh Helleborine,Wintergreen and the bees andother insects which areenjoying this feast.

I am hoping that the Red Kitethat I saw in winter willeventually find a nesting placein the Reserve along with theLittle Egrets which already roostin the plantations. I notice thata male Peregrine Falcon iskeeping watch from the top of asand dune, he looks like he hashad plenty to eat this morningalready, or maybe he just isn’tawake yet and is warming up inthe early sun.

As I make my way home, Inotice a mass of brokenbanded snail shells. The SongThrush has used a stone as ananvil and has taken his snailsthere to break open their shellsso that he can have hisbreakfast, which reminds methat I am now ready for mine!

What an eventful walk, neverthe same two days running. Iknow that nature will alwaysmanage to surprise and delightme, as long as we look afterthese special, wild places.

So, Sarah, after eight and ahalf years as Warden onGower, what have beenyour highlights?

There have been many.Projects like resurfacingRhossili beach path througha Scheduled AncientMonument; being able topass on my knowledge andskills to others. Also the manypeople I have met through thevarious guided walks andtalks that I have done. On arecent guided walk, one of thegroup went to free a sheepstuck in brambles, howeveronce the sheep was freed, itran off with the lady’s bright redglove on its back.Unfortunately, it was herfavourite pair of gloves, butnone of us could help butlaugh!

What will you miss the mostabout Gower?

I’ve met some great peopleduring my time here, and I willalso miss the unique scenery.

Yes, Gower certainly has anabundance of amazinglocations. What is yourfavourite place on Gower?

I have two favourite places.Worms Head, as it is a greatplace to ‘get away from it all’.Also the stunning cliffs thatopen out in front of you asyou walk from Rhossili aroundto Tears Point. With the rightlight, you can’t beat it.

Is there anything that youwon’t miss about Gower?

The wind at Rhossili, itmesses up my hair!

Thinking back over theyears, what has been yourmost memorable day?

The first time I had to pick updead, oiled birds off a beach.It was a really horrible job andbrought home to me just whatdevastation us humans cancause this world.

And, your funniest moment?

There have been SO manyfunny moments over theyears! Including racing upand down the stairs withEmma in the office collectingpaperwork from the printer,and when Sian and I lose theplot and have conversationsin silly accents. Gower Showplanning meetings have hadus all in hysterics. I have beenlucky enough to work with ateam of staff and volunteerswho regularly make me laugh!

So, a new post in a newlocation. Do you knowwhat’s in store for you inNorth Cornwall?

More stunning cliffs and lotsof new people to meet andget them involved with thegreat outdoors and theNational Trust.

If you could sum up yourtime on Gower in onesentence, what would it be?

Varied, enjoyable, eye-opening, never to be forgotten.

In December 2010, Sarah Stevens left herpost as Warden on Gower, to take up a newrole with the National Trust as Ranger inNorth Cornwall. Before she left, I asked her a few questions about hertime on Gower.

Farewell Sarah!
