Cardiff

The campsite in Brecon last night was a real change from what I was used to. It had lots of families on holiday, and was very touristy. A shock to the system. I’m getting progressively more tired and while I love the freedom involved in the process, I miss “normal” existence. I have fully embraced the spirit of journey and have been surprised in my lack of interest in wanting to visually record the whole journey, but rather capture the spectacular, what excites my eye.

Today started really well, I climbed the 1440 feet hill over Brecon in one take. I was pleased and this continued through the morning, I was seemingly flying along and covered over 30 miles in 2 and a half hours. This energy faded as I neared Cardiff so I made a b-line to “refuel” this didn’t go to plan and I ended up getting lost. When I finally got my bearings I headed towards Cardiff over another steep climb over mountain road, an apt name. I continued slowly onto Cardiff, having done 10 miles more than expected.
