Tredegar park to Newport centre

Up at 06:30 away at 08:30, I am getting better at this! Overcast cool start requiring fleece and trousers instead of shorts of first two days.

Followed Google Maps' suggested route back to the coast path. This avoided walking along dual carriage way so a better route than yesterday. Passed gorgeous blue blossom tree in the photograph. Anyone know what it is?

Coast path followed suburban roads for next couple of miles to the magnificent transporter bridge. It was closed but there was a team high up performing maintenance and a new visitor centre under construction. Looks like it will be well worth a visit in the future.

My Boots sunglass broke yesterday so a little further along the A48 Southern Distributor Road, I left the Coastal path to walk along Commerical Road into town for a replacement. Boots lady said her husband is always breaking his. I said it because they are designed by women to make we men look bad! This got a giggle.Les mer
