With a bank holiday weekend here in the UK, I wanted to get a couple of longer runs in. We’re having a heatwave in Cardiff so I headed out early and stayed in the shade. There were loads of people on the Taff Trail but Craig yr Allt was as quiet as usual. The trails…

The heatwave finally broke and I set out in glorious Welsh rain! There was a lingering heat but it was lovely and refreshing. I planned a slightly different route in my head as I left. I went down the Taff Trail then headed back along the top of the canal. I crossed the roundabout and…
