Don't ignore road signs!

So off I set to do what I thought was a 5k circuit, half way passed a sign showing my home village but for some unknown reason thought there was another way, so carried on until I finally reached 5k, absolutely exhausted and asked a passing cyclist way home only to find it was another 5k in opposite direction! Ouch!! Needless to say I walked the next 5k...lucky it's gorgeous countryside here!

Oh dear... that made me smile...:)

I did similar, a while back... went down to a place, just outside the village, which I thought, led through to a lane, that I thought had a way through... oops, I too, ended up walking back!

You did get plenty of exercise though.... your run and a walk :) Plus, the bonus of countryside..lucky you :)

Sorry made me smile too - at least you managed to walk home and didn't have to thumb a lift of phone for help. Think it might have left me in a heap by the roadside 😀
