Walk around Blackburn on a very pleasant warm evening

Orienteering training run from Zerbes Reserve, Doncaster. The event was well advertised and therefore well attended. I knew it must be a training run, 'cos I was in the lead from the start (though not for long). That would never happen in a real event.
I went north to the hilly area and ran the whole way, including up every hill, without stopping, except for one short extremely steep pinch in a park. I was slow on the ups and slow on the downs (didn't want to hurt knee) so time is really slow - but kept jogging and am pleased with myself. I can now get the distance I want, with the hills included. Just need to get faster and be able to do it more often! But that will happen. At least there is progress.

Street O in Croydon North. I just walked, even though l could possibly have run - but l am protecting my knee (which improves day by day) in anticipation of some running on the weekend. Much the area was very pretty - especially the area around the waterways and parks of the north west.
I felt sorry for anyone travelling to the event by train. There is chaos and mayhem at Blackburn station, with hundreds of passengers disembarking and catching buses between there and Ringwood while rail works are underway. Phil Torode is driving one of the buses.
