Slow jog to test ankle

Gravelpit Wood - Ashen Plains - Breakheart Quarry loop

V hot - so nice to get some shelter in the trees

Ankle still slightly swollen, although no real pain. Will give it another day or two.

Working in this heat is making far too sleepy any way!!

Stanley Wood loop.

Feeling a bit sluggish and flat footed from start. Got going a little bit better by the turn near Coaley Peak and then took some new paths below the CW, before going over on left ankle and taking quite a tumble.

Sat down for a bit, then walked for a bit. Ankle felt OK, so carried on tentatively once back on the CW. On to Selsley Common and in search of the dinosaurs before looping back.

Car parks at Selsley Common and Coaley Peak both busier than I have ever seen them, but not that many people in the woods between the two, so assume it was mainly picnickers.

Anti-clockwise loop to Owlpen Manor. Lovely route and could become a regular.

Biggest hills (Uley Bury and Cam Long Down) towards the end.

Hot day, but lovely to be able to do this sort of run from home still.
