SO - I was so pleased with myself that I sent a screen shot of my run ( courtesy of Strava) to my children and one of them came back and said that it reminded her of Dick Run Claire ( google it if you don't know who she is) so I took another look at the route and she was right! Hilarious!! Sorry!!

exactly - my main route is down a straight road, over an aqueduct and then back along the canal which is more or less parallel to the road!!

I am still struggling with the fact that it was my daughter who alerted me to it!
