Day 203/365

Frome Half marathon in action

                                                                                                                                       Not knowing if there was a bull en route yesterday decided to run a different way home, a route I was vaguely familiar with. Lesson learnt vaguely familiar does not work whilst running in the dark with a head torch on. I ran up to the White Post roundabout and then got on to the footpath which takes you to Manor Farm this was easy. Once at Manor Farm I couldn't find my way through, I was worried a dog my be out on the loose so headed in the direction I thought best, however instead of dogs I ended up in a field with a herd of marauding steers who did not like my head torch and I could not see without it. I managed to climb through the hedge into  a wheat field, I knew where I wanted to be but couldn't find an exit from the field.                                                                                                                                                     Ended up running

all around the field then climbing out onto the road at Killings Knap. Getting fed up now I ran around the road and down Watery Lane then getting on the Bridal path now I was back on track. Down into Loocombe woods following familiar footpaths and trails to Holcombe Cross Rds. Had had enough now so just ran down over Holcombe Hill home. Running for just over an hour, GPS tracker stopped working again approx 5.5 miles.
