I did a round about route today and came across it on my way back. It was either go back the way the way I came and be late for an appointment or scramble over lol

Now that is a minor problem, was it the wind that caused the trees to fall on your running route?, just hope they can clear your route soon.

Not sure Al, it was either the wind or the weight of the conkers lol

Someone has a garden fence to repair though

Probably the wind, this coming week will also be windy, on Wednesday or Thursday they think that ex hurricane Lorenza could cause severe gales in parts of the UK, that's one to watch out for.

That’s a dramatic shot. How did you get over THAT?

backintimeGraduate10 in reply to Stephen_UK

Over the end bit and under the other one...does that count as cross training ?

Stephen_UKGraduate10 in reply to backintime

Totally. I’d certainly be cross if that was in my way.

Oh wow! Good for you for getting over that!

Now I’ve got the kid’s song stuck in my head but with my own lyrics (I’m constantly doing that on my runs🤣)

We’re going on a bear hunt. (We’re going on a bear hunt)

We’re going to catch the big one.(we’re going to catch the big one)

I’m not scared. (I’m not scared)

What a beautiful day!(what a beautiful day!)

Uh-oh!

A fallen tree!

Right across my path!

Can’t go around it!

Can’t go under it!

Oh no!

We’ve got to go over it.

Grunt! Grunt! Groan groan

Oh my achy bones 🤣

Sorry! I couldn't help myself. Now it will be stuck in your head too.

Great job in getting around that! That definitely counts as cross training in my books!

I know that one although we called it a "boggit" hunt. I have no idea what a boggit is but when you're young it didn't seem to matter 😂

Absolutely agreed! I had someone show me a beautiful running route last week smack bang in the city of London, and so there’s little surprises along the way xx and hopefully many more to come over the years x

backintimeGraduate10 in reply to JaoJao

Yes, London has loads of hidden history too. You could read up about bits of your running route

Just the left end of the front one and under the other bit behind it lol.

And to think I’ve been worried about a few wet leaves underfoot and falling conkers! Well done getting through it and carrying on.
