Was down south for the day and had my gear with me. Decided this would be a good place for a run. Plan was to run up to the small lake to the west and back. Cold day.
Only had runners with me and first track a bit muddy. Was ok uphill but there was grass on first downhill and I went flying. Landed fine but more careful after that.
Next up I wanted to get on the road going up and saw a ride on the satellite photo that was going that general direction. And I knew from years ago that there was a link between the low and higher roads.
Mistake was when I got up that I followed ride to left rather than continuing out to the main road. Ride got a bit rougher. Checked google again and saw a route up along by a stream. So up by the stream I went and then out through some green to the road. All fine but not ideal in runners.
Over to the end of the road to investigate the lake. And then back. Road had a few puddles but feet were wet by now. The downhill was gradual but quads were complaining. Followed the road over to the one up to Crohane Lake and then back down. Snowing at this stage for a while. Better than rain.
Crossed the road and did a loop of the millennium forest.
Interesting to run somewhere different. I do think that the first map possibly has the potential for a race. Hmmm. Some nice white and dense green, good combination.
