Facts will emerge, but it seems highly likely to me that there was pre-existing friction between this team and the authorities. My experience is that Northern Canadian police etc use a LOT of common sense applying/turning a blind eye to some more, and some less, daft rules.

The warmzone 3.8, a capable camping mat. What do you think?

12km done. Aston hill was a little cheeky. 1 week ago I was diagnosed with a torn labrum in my left shoulder (apparently, shoulder pressing 60kg with no warm up ain’t good for you 🤣). Yesterday I had a cortisone injection to relieve the pain.

Today, when I tripped over a log and crashed onto my left shoulder, I discovered the jab provides ‘only’ partial pain relief. Ouch!

A slow and steady 5 km. My knees were aching today, and I suppose I can only expect that after 13 years of jumping out of planes for a living AND deciding to take my worn out trainers for one last run before I send them to the great ultra marathon in the sky.

Yesterday was amazing; this evening was warm and humid, and I feel like I can grow mushrooms in the various crevices of my body. But you didn’t need to know that.

A run in the rain - feels good to know the British summer is now in full flow! . Another 7km in my Brooks Caldera 6 and I have to say I’m loving them. Tempted to buy a pair of ATR Challenger 7s to add to the mountain of running shoes in the hallway. I am cursed by temptation.

What I do like about the Caldera is they make my running feel effortless - plenty of cushioning and bounce whilst stable even when running through mud and over loose gravel. I am impressed. . #run #runner #running #theridgeway #oxfordshire #chinnor #brooks #caldera6 #trailrun

Run along the Ridgeway, up Crowell hill (ouch, haven’t run up there for a while), and through the woodland. . The countryside is beautiful right now - signs of summer closing in. . A steady 6km.

My Garmin seems to giving some erratic readings at times as it was showing a 12 min per km pace when I was moving pretty fast. Has ‘someone’ been tampering with GPS? . Time to start planning my next big cold weather trip… . . . #Run #TheRidgeway #6KRun #Oxfordshire #Chinnor

Whoops! The greenery is starting to get a bit long, plenty of nettles hidden amongst the plants! . On the plus side, I hit double digits today… 10 km run. Happy. . What a beautiful day. Feels like it’s going to be another cracking summer. . #Run #10kRun #TheRidgeway #Nettles

A pleasant jaunt through the fields around Chinnor. Beautiful day for a run. . Almost trampled by a herd of mischievous bullocks! . Sitting on my arse doing nothing day (aka rest day) tomorrow. . . . #run #Chinnor #Oxfordshire

Another early run - 0640 (again, my body’s demand for coffee stalled my starting time…). . Today I decided to run a double hill - a long sharp rise rise, followed by a dip, then straight into another lung tickling climb hence the 🤮. . Continued…

I ran about 75% of the first hill, walked the midway point for about 200m, then raced up the second rise. . Rather pleased with the result as I haven’t covered those hills for quite some time. . Day off tomorrow. . #run #woodland #trailrun #chinnor #oxfordshire #theridgeway

The plan to out the door at 0530 slipped a little. Coffee was too tempting. . Tomorrow… . What a beautiful start to the day; warm and breezy weather only second best to running in a torrential downpour. . #run #running #trailrun #theridgeway #ridgeway #chinnor #oxfordshire
