Dark nights

Enjoying the challenge but struggling to find anywhere to run due to darkness. I live out in the sticks.

Wish the light nights would hurry up!

Bit dangerous running in pitch black, at least if there are lights 🚥 on a path or road that is less dangerous. If no lights you could buy a headlamp or something similar. 😊

I live out in the sticks and can't believe how dark it gets so you're braver than me going for a run in it. Could you run in your lunch break or drive to somewhere at night with lights? I too am longing for the lighter evenings and warmer weather. Stay safe in the meantime.

I have a head torch that I wear around my waist and fluorescent arm bands with red lights in them. They can flash on and off if the fancy takes me
