I'm on the towpath of the River Dee. Some canoeists are riding the tidal bore, and if I trundle down the path a bit, it changes into a rather nice sunset.

Sushi.
Be glad you’re not really on it Oranj
I ran it for real last week when I was doing it in this and another challenge virtually at the same time.

It’s as boring as a boring thing that’s more boring than bored

Nice castle view Wombling Plodder!

Glad my real run today was more scenic than the virtual tour of Leicester. I'm now on an ugly roundabout, but it is close to Oadby where my grandparents lived for years. Another English town I've never visited and would have struggled to place on a map.

No standing castles today, but there was a demolished one en route impressive enough in the 16th century that Mary Queen of Scots stayed there.

Today's image is our local bronze age stone circle, the castle was to the right of the house on the horizon about 200m away.
