Epic Rhossili
I have already mentioned in previous blog posts the plan I have for my traveling and it involves being a boomerang, in other words I intend to keep going home at intervals to see my kids and grandkids, the times I spend with them when I’m home are special and I want to write about those days in my blog too so I can always have something to look back on.
The last time I was home was no different than before in that I couldn’t wait to see my children and spend time with them and their children, this time we had heard that an EPIC sculpture, meaning the word EPIC made into a large sculpture has been moving around Wales, popping up at certain locations, the next destination is kept a secret until it arrives at the next fantastic place.
I read on Facebook that it was in Rhossili for the week while I was home, which is my favourite place, so that gave me the excuse I needed to go and visit Rhossili bay again. I asked Jordan if she wanted to come with me and her and Mia said yes, Kelsey ended up coming too as she loves it over in Rhossili.
We decided to go after tea, mainly because Mia had stuff on in the day and Kelsey was working but I also thought it would be great to see it against the fantastic backdrop of Rhossili bay while the sun sets and it didn’t disappoint. It wasn’t one of the best sunsets I have seen there but it was pretty cool.
Visit Wales, a company that promotes Wales within the tourist industry was in charge of the sculpture and it was manned day and night in case of accident, it had been placed near the edge of the cliff on the walk out to the Worms Head, but obviously at a safe distance.
We turned up and there were many others there waiting to have their photos taken with the EPIC sculpture which did look magnificent against the sunset hued sky, we all took turns to stand in the various letters and had many pictures taken.
As the sun was setting the rescue helicopter had been arranged to make a flyby over the sign which we also managed to take plenty of pictures of.
It was a simple thing but quite fun to be a part of the venture to raise awareness of fantastic places to go in Wales. The theme was entitled #findyourepic and the campaign is about having epic adventures in wonderful places in Wales.
We certainly had an adventure on this trip, it’s always great to be in Rhossili, and the scenery is just stunning. The sheep didn’t seem to mind all the fuss either.
