One on one? You're crazy.
i lived in mumbles in the 80s, probably changed a lot since then but it was lovely then, loads of pubs along the mile (obviously as students we had to do the mumbles run and drink in every one
) go to caswell bay and walk along the cliffs to langland bay, lovely walk (i used to do my runs along there) three cliffs bay, beautiful, head out to oxwich as well, and head for some of the villages on the penisular near swansea, can't remember their names now, but some lovely pubs along there

Not been in here before... is it like walking into a Welsh pub, and revealing how English I am when ordering at the bar, resulting in menacing stares?
My dad used to describe walking round the Gower talking Welsh to his drinking mate and being followed by little boys saying 'Russians!' It is not the most nationally-conscious area I know. In the pubs, however, they weren't bothered, wanting his money.

Maybe after the great house price crash that'll follow the great global-oil price clash.
Anbout the only chance I'd have.

they were of their time, can't remember neptunes, used to go to a few clubs in swansea itself, barons and martha's vineyard (i think bonnie tyler owned that one), and i think there was another one in mumbles at the time, bradley;s or something

Is there a mumbles drinking game? Last time I went there we camped near a fabulous beach with a pub nearby. Every time we went to the pub it was full of people downing pints and saying something like 'Mumbles, mumbles, we've all got the Mumbles!' We watched for ages to see if there were any rules or such, but never managed to work it out. Its sort of become one of our catchphrases, so I'd love to know if it is a drinking game, or whether everyone was just being very silly.

bradley;s = bentleys.
and martha's died a while ago also and so has doras.
barons became a sort of 'grab a granny' night in the 90s.
too bloody right!
beach girls rock!

it's the mumbles run, drinking every pub from the oyster catcher ( i think is the first) all away to the end which was a club called cinderellas in the 80s, when i did it, there were 13 and it had to be a pint a pub, some hardy souls liked to do the double, to the mile, then repeat it coming back

If you are staying in the Carlton go a bit further down the road to the mermaid to eat.
Its fab
The mumbles mile has diminished in recent years, many of the pubs once on it have shut down and the mightclub at the end is no more, could be a good thing in the long run, who knows? Happy memories of staggering and singing though

Go backto the mid 70's and the Surf House was the place -had my 18th in Tiffanies on Newton Rd
You must do the pier and Joe's Icecream parlour. Plus the sea lamented and gone trackbed of the Mumbles train / tram.
Affordable nice places within reach - say Pontardulais area - nice surroundings or Ammanford area.Ferryside very pleasant beach villiage with train links.
Best walk to 3 Cliffs is from Pennard village -very quiet and very beautifull

Isn't there a chant amongst some dull Englishmen...that goes,
'i'd rather be a Paki than a Turk?'

i am bumping this thread, coz i fancy the gower for our hols this year
I'd go further West every time.
The Gower is packed to the gunnals in the summer to the point of tailbacks on the country lanes. Campsites are very, very expensive, and it just ain't as nice all round, really.
If you haven't been to Pembrokeshire, and you want coastal scenery, then now's your chance
