Tried a bit of a run in Riverhead forest. Not a major success, was knackered fairly quickly and didn't feel too good. Will see if I can ease into things this week - I'm eating OK now (finally), so should hopefully come right fairly quickly

At least the head didn't cause any grief although was rather careful to avoid branches today

At last food seems to be settling down OK and feeling human again so thought we'd go to Woodhill for a walk through the native area to ease myself into things...

All good until climbing up a steepish bit towards the end and I sconed myself on a branch. Well, actually it was a bit worse than that - a dead branch was wedged into the crook of a tree and was both very hard and very sharp. I sort of stood up directly under it and managed to open up a rather large flap in my scalp - ~10cm long in a bit of a U shape. Lots of blood gushing out however my hat at least stopped crap getting in. So a 20 minute walk back to the car with my right hand pressed on my hat to stop the blood then off to A&E for some glue to hold things together and antibiotics to hold off any possible infection...
