I'm in Cumbria on my way to Scotland and have just done week 7 run 1. A rare sunny moment here! I thought I was in luck, finding a lovely grassy footpath, but just after I took the photo the path ended in a bed of nettles! Oh well, I had to run along the roadside, but it went well nevertheless!

It certainly does look an inviting route shame it didn’t last long!

Lucky you in Cumbria...and running too!

Nice to run somewhere new and stretch the legs.

Hope the sunshine continues in Scotland.

Well run Joy !

Ah, yes, that's Penrith way, a bit south from me, ....I'm in North of the county, more towards Carlisle. Its a beautiful place. We love it. Have lived here for nearly 40 years, having moved up from the Midlands.

I'd never go on holiday nowadays without taking my running kit. 👍

That's what I used to do. Stopped for a while but definitely going to do it again from now on! It's great to discover new areas.

Does look a lovely path, but road running is good too especially when there are trees around

I love Cumbria Joy57. Hubby and I lived there for a while in 2001. Being a northern lass it was like going home. We lived in Brampton. It was beautiful.

Enjoy Scotland 👍😂😂🥰
