Thoroughly enjoyed this route, despite the weather being overcast with some drizzle. Lovely scenery through Cefn Mably, which passes the old hospital, with good views over Cardiff and out to sea. Some hills, but the return leg through St Brides is a long, flat run. Looking forward to repeating this in the spring.
