Yesterday

Very sorry about the abandonment of your run yesterday YJ. In these circumstances it really is the luck of the draw so far as the weather is concerned. A strong headwind and low temperatures are both debilitating features on a long run, or on any type of run, as we all know only too well. Have a good rest whilst you consider the next attempt!

The intended support team, Nic’O, NLN and me, assembled at Nic’O’s by mid afternoon  and ran 13.5 or so miles to Darwen Tower via Cranshaw’s and Darwen Moor and back via Catherine Edge. As usual, the girls ran ahead, waiting for me from time to time. Towards the end of Catherine Edge we saw a concentration of  a dozen or so Curlews at close quarters, swooping around and calling to their young. They were, I think, anxious that Rafe was around! On our return to Nic’O’s we sat in glorious sunshine,  with those marvellous views, eating flapjacks and, some of us, drinking David’s wine. A superb afternoon / evening out.
