I do the occasional road run into the city centre but I don’t log these runs.

Another shorter run as I spent ages taking photos in Greenmeadow Wood. The bluebells are coming out so I was trying to get some nice photos. I didn’t get one so here’s the castle instead.

The work on the main path through the sculpture trail appeared to have stopped so I headed that way. The ground has been churned up from the vehicles and machinery. There are still piles of wood chip and loose branches on the verges. I presume this will be cleared up and the accessible path reinstated.…

This isn’t the best photo but I happened to get another shot of a train, which I’ve been doing a lot lately. After my last 10 mile run, which was mainly flat tarmac, I wanted to get some elevation in so I managed both hills today. It was a fair amount of power walking but…

The forecast was good so I headed out for a longer run this morning. I stuck to the hard trails and not too many hills. This was the view of the Garth from Coed y Gedrys.
