Was supposed to be doing XC in Malmesbury but this was cancelled because of wind. Used the free day to slot in one of this month's long runs - with Marcus - just 3 more to do this year.
From Chepstow leisure centre, up ODP with a bit of a detour for extra distance at the start. Finding it hard work, and that legs were heavy from bouldering - so, in hindsight, for the best that the XC was off. Quite a lot of stops off for views etc - had never appreciated just how big and nice the grounds of the one house is at Boughspring.
Once on OD proper path was a bit slippery and rough so pace slowed for ankle preservation. Past Devil's Pulpit and half way around Tintern Trot loop so that cut down a relatively gradual track.
From Tintern, found that the WVW signage wasn't so good so turned one path early - so ended up going to Penterry and adding a bit more climb and muddy fields in. Once down into St Arvans, opted to stay on the grass by racecourse and cut straight back rather than slide off the WVW into river. Not had the chance to look at it properly in the daylight - but the park is mappable.
In need of food at the end. Quite pleased to have had a drink with me on the way round.
