Good to be back

Just come back from a week in sunny Spain, where I've exercised nothing more than the creative side of my brain and wielded nothing heavier than a Prolene size 6 artist's paintbrush.
So, about half a kilogramme heavier than when I left, on Monday I set out on a gentle loop around Hayfella acres - and a gorgeous loop it was. It was only about 2.7 miles, but I put together sections of two different routes into one satisfying new route. Pleasantly undulating without being too heroic. Mostly off-road an sheep-cropped grass. Rather too many stiles and gates, but that's unavoidable. Every field full of cutesy lambs and watchful ewes (or 'yows' as they're called up here - you may have heard them called that on Lambing Live).  All in all a beautiful little run. 
Only marred by the fact that I think I may have re-tweaked the a*se muscle I pulled a while ago...
Smileyrating  9.5/10 (0.5 knocked off for the bum tweakage)

    It's good to find a new route that works for you. It keeps the interest going. I guess you'll be getting the shorts out now that you've browned your legs in Spain! Cheers, John

    R795: Yep, the shorts are out. It's not pretty!

    RB: Maybe - if I can work out how to get my new printer to scan! As for tweakage - lots of stretching and hoping :))
