Default Be warned

But remember to wear wellies and to book the crane that a certain Mr
Gavin used at Chelsea this year - you may need it to heave you out of
the mud. Also a good idea to carry a few spare pairs of wellies in
case yours don't come out of the mud with you.

And, of course, the lush green beaches of the Gower are simply because
so much wet has meant that the weeds have colonised the sand. At the
dryer east end, we have sand dunes (Kenfig), rich in flora and fauna,
including some very rare orchids, but these lead to lovely beaches
which are golden, as sandy beaches should be.

And you don't need so many pairs of wellies!

Actually, the whole of South Wales has so much to offer, from the
scenic cliffs of Southerndown, the graceful curves of Swansea Bay (and
the graceful curves of the bikini clad ladies you will often find on
the golden sands in the summer), waves for surfers, rocks for
climbers, wonderful views, lovely gardens and, if that isn't enough,
the occasional glimpse of the Swansea Bay Three exercising in their
red shorts on the beach somewhere.

And a lot of mud at the west end.

the dryer (east) end of Swansea Bay



"And a lot of mud at the west end."
Thats because them from the East end come West and when they go
paddling in their wellies they wash off the mud they brought with
them.

Talking of wellies,
I remember when I was out in Tunisia, it was raining and walking along
was a local in full brown robes, and peeking out under them were a
pair of green wellies
