92 Clubs – Day 8 – Bury, Cardiff
It’s not that I’m flagging, but I’m just finding out how difficult this challemge is.
It was an early start and I took the 08:20 to Manchester where I took the tram to Bury.
Outside Gigg Lane, Bury
The walk to the ground was fairly easy, even in the rain and an hour later I was back on the tram for Piccadilly.
It was then on the 12:30 train to Cardiff, which goes via Crewe and then through the Marches and Newport.
Scenery and Skies on the way to Cardiff
The picture shows some of the countryside on one of our best long distance train journeys for scenery, if the weather is good.
The train was on time at Cardiff or nearly so, and it was then a trip to Grangetown and a walk to the new stadium.
A Deserted Cardiff City Stadium
It was absolutely deserted, as you can see from the picture.
However, I was able to get back to Cardiff Central early and despite all the mayhem of a memorial concert for a pop singer with a rather unsavoury reputation, I was able to get the 17:25 back to London.
Surprisingly, it hadn’t been a particularly tiring day, but except for breakfast, one Marks and Spencer sandwich from Euston and a banana, I jadn’t had much time for getting any food. I was pleased though, that I was early and was able to eat a full meal in Carluccio’s in Upper Street.
