I got a bit lost...
...if I'm being honest!
Well not lost so much as loseing the trail a bit and not having the courage of my convictions to jump some fences. I set off on a 1:30 mabey 1:45 run, but with the detours and double backs I was out for a bit longer than that. I wasnt really bothered other than the fact that the missus would be getting a bit concerned for my whereabouts.
Total Time (h:m:s) 2:16:39 7:20 pace
Moving Time (h:m:s) 1:52:17 6:02 pace
Distance (km) 18.61
Moving Speed (kph) 9.9 avg. 16.1 max.
Elevation Gain (m) +188 / -189
Avg. Heart Rate 148 bpm Zone 2.0
Temperature (°C) 16.5°C avg. 17°C high
Wind Speed ( kph) SW 13.0 avg. SW 14.8 max.
What is clear from the map, and apparent when I got to the back half of the run, is that in the cases where I did double back I had in fact been on course but the fences or general lay of the land deterred me from following my nose (and my map). It was however a really great run across some immacutely well kept estate land.

Lost - that's funny! Thankfully you can laugh at yourself too. Just be happy that you didn't end up in a nasty gang-ridden neighborhood....
Beautiful photos! Sure beats my run routes!
The most dangerous things around here gang wise are the gangs of cows which follow you across fields!
Nope all you got to really watch out for in this bit of the UK are irate english gentry. That and of course cars!
I try on my bike and run routes to stay off the main roads (for this read anything with more that 1 lane) or stay offroad entirely. This keeps me out of harms way and also stops me pounding my knees quite so badly.
As I am an 87Kg orthopaedic engineer I am hard on my joints and I KNOW it!
