The first stint was going to be from Chepstow all the way to Newport as there was little opportunity in between for buses back to the start point. This would have been a run close to 30 miles though. However, what with weekends away, Christmas and other commitments I hadn&#8217;t done any long runs for a while so running 30 miles straight off was going to be a little too much. Fortunately we had a weekend away planned that would take us into South Wales. An extra day was booked off either side of the weekend so that I could do two shorter runs. Anna would be with me so would be able to meet me in the middle with the car meaning there would be no need for public transport &#8211; perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving through the snow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We dropped the camper off for it&#8217;s service and MOT. We dropped Morgan off at school as he was off on a ski trip for the week. We then headed off towards South Wales through the snow and ice. The roads were actually pretty clear, but there was plenty of snow all around. Parts of the drive were particularly scenic where snow lay thick on the branches of trees overhanging the road, or where large drifts had accumulated in the hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We arrived in Chepstow just before Midday. Some of the smaller roads we had seen on the drive were still quite thick with snow so we made some contingency plans should Anna not be able to drive to the designated meeting place. With plans made I headed off to start my run. First I had to make my way backwards along the coast path to find the starting point. As I did, I saw someone else running in the opposite direction, complete with rucksack just like me. The temperature was around 2\u00baC so I had hat and gloves on, as well as a jacket. I was taking things gingerly on the icy ground too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Running through Chepstow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I made my way to the Bridge over the River Wye which is the start of the Wales Coast Path. The cliffs on the far side of the River were part of my run on the Offa&#8217;s Dyke Path last time<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/River-Wye.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/River-Wye.jpg\" alt=\"River Wye\" class=\"wp-image-28775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/River-Wye.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/River-Wye-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/River-Wye-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>River Wye at the Start of the Wales Coast Path<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t see any big signs to say exactly where the start was but soon found a Coast Path sign and a few standing stones which I assume mark the beginning. Obviously, this isn&#8217;t the beginning of the path for me as I have already run around all of North Wales and the entire length of the border along Offa&#8217;s Dyke Path. For me this was just a continuation of the journey around Wales. For many though Chepstow marks the start of their adventures as it is the official start (or end) point of the Wales Coast Path. I was soon following the familiar signs through the streets of Chepstow. I overtook the guy I had seen earlier as I wove my way along little cobble lanes, under subways and then up a steep hill into the suburbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was soon out onto a little trail through a scrubby woodland high above the River Wye. There was still quite a bit of snow on the ground so I was glad to be off the tarmac and onto trails where it seems less slippery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Snowy-Paths.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Snowy-Paths-720x540.jpg\" alt=\"Snowy Trails\" class=\"wp-image-28776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Snowy-Paths-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Snowy-Paths-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Snowy-Paths.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Snowy Trails<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The path took me up and down through some woodlands, alongside playing fields and then back into some residential suburbs of Chepstow before opening out onto fields with views of the M48 Severn Bridge and a bridge over the River Wye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Bridges-720x375.jpg\" alt=\"Bridges\" data-id=\"28777\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=28777\" class=\"wp-image-28777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Bridges-720x375.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Bridges-200x104.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Bridges.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption>Bridges<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Old-Severn-Bridge-720x540.jpg\" alt=\"Old Severn Bridge\" data-id=\"28778\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=28778\" class=\"wp-image-28778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Old-Severn-Bridge-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Old-Severn-Bridge-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Old-Severn-Bridge.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption>Old Severn Bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Chepstow-Selfie-720x541.jpg\" alt=\"Chepstow Selfie\" data-id=\"28789\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=28789\" class=\"wp-image-28789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Chepstow-Selfie-720x541.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Chepstow-Selfie-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Chepstow-Selfie.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption>Chepstow Selfie<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It was then back into the more industrial areas of Chepstow before running under the M48 and alongside more industrial units. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Under-the-Motorway.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Under-the-Motorway.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Under-the-Motorway.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Under-the-Motorway-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Under-the-Motorway-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Under the Motorway<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There was then some open parkland with undulating paths sandwiched between an industrial estate and the noise of the M48 motorway.

The roads looked fine where she was so we were going with plan A. I said I was approaching the Bridge but as I continued to run it became clear that it was still quite a way off. It&#8217;s so huge that it looked closer than it was!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ran along the coast for mile after mile with only the mudflats, an occasional bird and the ever looming presence of the bridge for company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The path did detour inland for a little while as I ran past a field of solar panels &#8211; modern agriculture for a power hungry world. I was then taken through the sleepy, industrial looking village of Sudbrook and then out past Sudbrook Hill Fort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Solar-Panels.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Solar-Panels.jpg\" alt=\"Solar Panels\" class=\"wp-image-28782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Solar-Panels.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Solar-Panels-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Solar Panels<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Second Severn Crossing and M4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I re-emerged onto the banks of the Severn a little closer to bridge and now ran along an embankment all the way towards the huge concrete supports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Severn-Crossing.jpg?fit=720%2C540&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Severn-Crossing.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Severn-Crossing-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Severn-Crossing-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption>Second Severn Crossing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve driven over the bridge countless times but it&#8217;s not until you are within it&#8217;s shadow that you realise just how big it is.
