The Dumbles

No, i meant that nothing was being said on the site about such a fairly large area of inviting open countryside which is surrounded by four built-up population areas.

BUT, as you asked the question about something being unusual about the Dumbles - well the following incident is from the 'horses mouth', as they say and was related to me some years ago.

A courting couple were taking a stroll in the direction of Robeyfields Farm one weekend in 1937. Just before the trackway to the farm, a small baseball shaped self- luminous pale blue ball skitted out of the grassy area to their left, floated slowly over the path in front of them, continuing its journey down the other field and that was that.

There's also the rumours about something having occurred in the top end of the wood which is just prior to the blue ball incident.

Advice for your future trek through that area. Your digital camera and oh - those plimsolls?

It is very nice countryside to idle a few hours away in though, on a nice slow walk.
Azzabuv.
