FollowA minibus picked up the group of walkers this morning, and dropped them off near Morwenstow. This village is dominated by the GCHQ eavesdropping station – you can see the satellite ground stations on the horizon.
Val took this one while sitting on a rock having lunch.
Rugged scenery.
About 8 miles in all, and the weather was kind. The group.
Back in Shifnal I was not idle. You may have seen Mo Farah winning the Great North Run on the telly this morning. He completed the 21 kilometre course in just under an hour. To achieve this he had to run each kilometre in a little under three minutes. I’m due a run this morning, though my goal is a little more modest than Mo’s. I’d like to run my 5k in less than 30 minutes, so I have to get under 6 minutes per kilometre. I have never got close to doing this yet.
I made it, just.
And that’s two new personal records for me. Delighted.
