Just under 8 miles this morning to get me half way to Chirk. It a bit humid out even at 6.30am! Getting it done early as there’s football & cricket to concentrate on for the rest of the day. 😀

Currently just near this sadly closed pub and Indian Restaurant.


Google have done a wonderful job of changing it from the Vernon Yonge Arms, which is what is should be

Here is what it looked like in about 1900.

Made it to Chester! (Somewhere I have never been in real life, but it's been on the list for years.)

Definitely worth a visit, ♪♫ Synge ♪♫

I really enjoyed my last visit which included the marathon....



I’m hoping to make a return visit some time and give that race another go.

Chester is a great city, historic, great zoo (I miss seeing the otters).

I guess some people like to run there, too :)
