Running route found

A good look on the map showed that on my first Welsh run, I had missed the Wales Coast Path by only some tens of metres. And that was a pity; it might provide a good route! So when I felt dynamic one morning I slipped into my running kit and gave it a go. I wasn't sure how good the path would be.

First it was a bit rooty, and then it got grassy. And then it got worse. I tried to scamper lightly over the field but it wasn't going to happen! Within no time I had sunk down in the gunk up to my ankles. That was exactly what I had hoped wouldn't happen. But such is life! It was only some 20 metres of swamp, and then I was on solid ground again. So with brown socks and shoes I scampered over the very scenic path. This was working out after all!

After a while I saw a junction. I turned off! Who knows where that would take me. It turned out it lead to a forestry track. Very nice for running! And I ended up underneath the bridge I tend to use when I drive to town. Blimey it was very impressive! If you drive over it you have no idea. I took some pictures and then went back along the Wales Coast Pat. Very very pretty. And it was a beautiful day! I was being a coward and went back to the road before I would reach the muddy patch. And then back up the hill! It had been beautiful. I think next time I'll see if I can do the uphill bit through a field. If so I have my route settled! And with such views I will have no problems motivating myself!

 

One of the two lions flanking Britannia  Bridge; it seems the original bridge was lower, and you could see these from it! Now you can cross that bridge endlessly many times and have no idea they're there...
