I'm going to meet a friend for a walk this afternoon. I think her husband and 2 dogs may be lurking somewhere too, safe distancing and all that. ;-)

5 slow, steady miles done. Comparison of the wind over the weekend of too blowy to non existent today, which made it just as difficult.

Cheers everyone 🥂

11 miles done here. The wind is very much still here. Was hard going at times. No need to worry about overheating.

5 hot miles in NF, but a fairly relaxed run and a few hills walked. Roads & car parks busy, people parked on the verges seemed to be getting special cards from the police or rangers ...
But everywhere all week has been full of 'only park in car parks, do not park on verges or drives or gateways', along with 'toilets are locked'.

But once away from the car parks, very empty of people.
No deer today, not even any baby donks. Although did see one very very pregnant donk. Humourously wide, maybe twins? Probbly not funny for her.

Plain, river glade & deciduous forest,

Chobham common, Dio

Same kind of area, if looking from a SE England perspective, but not that close. Lovely though, and pretty quiet at 8am. Got busier by the end.

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
