Note to self: Take night vision goggles next time.....

Well - another one to add to the collection...another FAB RUN OUT :-)

 

We managed to get a lift out to Bigland (Thanks Glenn!) and then ran home via a new bit of unexplored (well, not much, anyway) territory.  This was a great run - although with hindsight, we probably set off a bit late in the day.  Then we had to do a bit of nav.  Then it got a bit dark.  Then the map disintegrated as it was a bit damp.  But that's OK as it was to dark to see it properly anyway. Then we still had five and a half miles to get home.  All of which 'off road'.  Most of it 'in bog'.

 

BUT, we were quite happy once we were back on home turf on the Sticky Toffee Pudding route, apart from when we heard a loud bark nearby and Jenny thought a prickle bush was an enormous wild hound.  As it happened, the dog was thankfully on a lead.  And it was much smaller than said prickle bush.  By the time we made it to Walton Hill farm, it was on with the headtorches.  And another half hour we were home. 

 

It'll certainly be the type of run that we'll look back on in later years and say 'Do you remember when....'.  

 

Bloomin marvellous!
