Choir Walkers – Tintern via Tidenham Tunnels

Sunday, 2nd May 2021

Nine walkers turned up at Wyedean School in Sedbury for the latest walk, to Tintern and back via the Tidenham Tunnel. We were blessed with nice weather on a very busy trail, passing the Diving Centre and though the dark one kilometre tunnel on the old railway track.

Stopping off in Tintern for our picnic and ice cream before returning via the same route.

Walk 12 – Caerleon Ruins

Sunday, 6th December 2020

Great walk today, starting at the impressive Ampitheatre in Caerleon, across the bridge to Bulmore and onto the Celtic Manor 2010 course. The obstacle of the closed bridge did not put the intrepid seven walkers and Henry the dog off, so a bit of clambering and edging along the parapet before carrying on back to Caerleon. The route then took us up the steep incline at the back of the Uni building and onto the long climb to the top of Lodge Hill and into the woods. Past the Iron Age fort following the muddy and slippering path along the top of the ridge which gave some superb views across Newport. Dropping down onto the boardwalk path back to Caerleon, and finishing off with Sunday lunch (no beer though) at the Goldcroft Inn. Lovely walk with great company

Walk 11 – Wales Coastal Path – Magor

Sunday, 22nd November 2020

Eleven walkers made the start at Black Rock for the walk to Magor. Passing through the village of Sudbrook, with its ancient chapel and Celtic Fort and onto the very impressive community Cornfield with its newly laid track. Back on the coast passing under the Prince of Wales Bridge and along the gravel trail to Undy and then to the final destination at Magor.

A number of the walkers then went to the Wheatsheaf Inn for Sunday lunch which was a very nice way to end the walk.
