Whinlatter parkrun - 1st, 20:14
Ouch. Rather hungover and eased my way into it, but the hills kept going and the short steep bit killed me. Was woken from my leg slumber by breathing behind and roused myself somewhat round the final mile. Would like to think could have done sub 19 with a level playing field. Decided is tougher than Mount Edgcumbe so assumes mantle of hardest course, ignoring Millom which is seasonally variable.

Cottingley Hall estate - Crag Wood - Goitstock Wood - Great Northern Trail - Harecroft
Why I have never run here before? Cottingley Woods were beautiful. I will be back. Presume not mapped as private. Negatives, cracked my head open on a metal sign dangling from a pylon. Then fell over a tree root.
