When I went down to the woods today...

... I had a very uneventful run, followed by a lovely long walk through woodland I haven’t been to in a very long time (for very long time, read a couple of decades). Which is probably why, when I got to the path I thought would take me back to my car, I found it *would* but it was busy with race horses heading out on morning exercise. My Merlin is NOT good with horses who are being ridden 🤦‍♀️. Discretion being the better part of valour, I then backtracked my entire route - only meeting 1 horse and rider with her small terrier trotting along behind, on the way.

Also spotted: 3 cyclists, 4 hikers, and this burnt out motorbike.

Result? 10.5k in 3 hours 4 minutes.
