Had thought about doing an extra loop down to link rd instead of taking the trig shortcut however it's actually rather had to talk yourself into an extra 5 km when you've already been out for that long! Was also starting to struggle a bit and didn't fancy tackling what is normally a ~20 minute up hill from the bottom of link (when I'm fresh) to what which would probably have been a rather long, slow trudge...
