Petcar Survey

5XMay 2021 by Lucyhammond

Route description

This route is the same as PETCAR ONE but corrected for where the original gpx file wanders across corners and the river and isn't clear. It also has a slight alteration in the final part of the route to Cardiff Central Station to accommodate the fact that the original trace shows a route which is currently closed because of construction works.
