Last week I went for a walk around Newport Wetlands and ended up getting lost. And I don’t mean lost in the whimsical wandering sense, I mean, send out a frigging helicopter lost. I had no idea that the RSPB Wetlands Walk turned into the Wales Coast Path and somewhere past the lighthouse I took a wrong turning and… well, I wandered a couple of miles towards the Severn Bridge without realising. Oops. The path became very quiet, very suddenly (what happened to all those “Bird People” with the hats and the binoculars?) and I had to jump a few fences to find my way back. I got there in the end though and dragged my muddy boots into the RSPB cafe for tea and cake.
