Yesterday I ran 10k for the amazing RNLI charity in Lymington, which tied in very nicely with our HU run. I listened to the Spotify soundtrack for most of the time - some great tracks, thank you to those that put it together. This was a beautiful coastal run mostly on gravel (ouch, I prefer tarmac to run on 🤣) and I was honoured to see an egret flying really low and close as I ran along the sea path section. Loving reading the posts from all the VRBs who’ve taken part so far 😃😃😃

A really good cause for which to run Mudita. Sounds like a lovely venue. The bird life is very apparent up in the forest at present from tiny gold crests to enormous buzzards. I always think that the latter circle over me towards the end of a long run, hoping for an easy meal! 🏃🏻♂️🦅
Thanks BC. Sounds fab where you live. I do love birds but I’m better at hearing them than seeing them these days 🤣. Luckily the egret was pretty close! Watch out for those hungry buzzards 🤣
We go to the Isles of Scilly every year; there is always a chance of seeing something exotic. I think that a Hoopoe was the biggest surprise bird wise, and a Walrus (Wally) sunbathing on a pontoon in the harbour was the biggest shock! He had been all over the place…France,Spain, Ireland, Isle of Man, but decided that Scilly had the best sushi restaurants I think. He was an adolescent, which explains everything really …but eventually the call of some femme fatale back oop north lured him back to the arctic. I love a happy ending 🙂.
Brilliant 🤣🤣! Wally stopped around here for one night too en route to the Isles of Scilly. He needed a rest. I would absolutely love to see a hoopoe. You’ve seen some amazing sights BC x

Sounds like a delightful run Mudita. How wonderful to be graced by an egret too. 🥰 Really well done!

You must have an impressive bling collection now Mudita! Well done on completing your HU 10ks in a real race and in such a lovely location. Not sure about the gravel, that’s worse than grass!
Thanks Dexy, I think gravel is my new least preferred running terrain 🤣 but luckily the scenery and wildlife more than made up for it! I forgot to add a pic of the medal so here it is. I’ve got a few now and am thinking of getting one of those medal hangers as I don’t know what to do with them (think I have 12) x

That's a great charity to choose. I loved the playlist too. How lovely to see the egret fly by - it sounds a perfect 10k.
That sounds like a fabulous run Mutida, despite the gravel. And how wonderful to have such a close encounter with the egret!And such a fantastic cause to run for. My Dad's name is on the new all-weather lifeboat based at Wells-next-the-Sea. We were lucky enough to see her down in Poole where she was built and find his name up close

A coastal run and such a worthy cause, sounds perfect. Well done to you 👍
