New walk is... Wales Coast Path

At the beginning of the month I was up early to start on my travels to Chester. One bus change and I arrived at Chester.

Walking approx 2 miles from Chester city centre I arrived at the beginning (end for some walkers) of the Wales Coast Path.



The Wales Coast Path is 870 miles of Welsh coastal walking. The path is broken down into 8 different areas:


  1. North Wales & Dee Estuary
  2. Isle of Anglesey
  3. Menai, Llyn & Meirionnydd 
  4. Ceredigion 
  5. Pembrokeshire
  6. Carmarthenshire
  7. Gower & Swansea Bay 
  8. South Wales & Severn Estuary  
Along the way I saw an Airbus Beluga plane land, and the River Dee bore.






After 11 miles I arrived at Flint Castle and decided enough was enough for one day!









So 11 miles down, 859 to go!



I've contacted the Wales Coast Path website to see if I can get the miles for each of the 8 areas.

Their website is:


.... the next planned walk on the path will be from Flint round to Rhyl.









Excellent Blog

On the many marketing emails I get I came across one which mentioned a blog on the company website as they had donated some kit.

The kit is a GPS and a solar power kit.

The blog I've discovered is about a 19 year old cycling his way 6,000 miles from England to India over 6 months. To read about his travels with pictures and videos so far visit:

Big Kid!

Even though I am soon approaching 41! you can never tire of building Lego.

Using my nephew's Lego I have now built 5 different sets. From Cars up to Lego Super Heroes Batwing Battle Over Gotham.

The first set I tried was the Lego Creator Blue Roadster I bought. With this set you can build 3 different cars.

Below is my first video!
