The weather is a tad cooler, so I suggest we do a slightly longer run on Saturday morning at the usual gentle pace. This route is just over 12.5 miles, flat and includes part of the unique Spithandle Lane we all know and love! The shortcut from Buckells Farm takes off about 1.5 miles and the one through Lock Farm and Claylands Farm about 5.5 miles.
Due to the World Cup Semi Final match where England will play Croatia, kicking off at 7pm, the proposed Shepherd and Dog Pub Run is shelved for this week. The visit to the Shepherd and Dog will still take place but on 22nd August now.
There will be a usual Wednesday run from HLC led by Eb for those non-footballing runners! Meet at 7pm as usual.
Few people seem keen on particularly long runs at present – it must be the weather! This is the suggested route for Saturday morning, which is only 10 miles with a shortcut that reduces it to about 8. It’s also flat and shouldn’t be overgrown.
