Here we go round the Tor

Three runners just made it in time to hear the instructions, ‘two and on’. Also that there were some extra challenges, for those who wished to take them. The pack set off checking up and down the road before ‘on on’ was called. Not far to another check and we turned down Cinnamon Lane and then into a field where we discovered the extra challenges, an assault course! While some took up the challenge the rest of us just ran on past. After some more downhill we then turned back across fields up to the main road, where we again dodged the traffic before heading off again. We were now heading up hill and there were those that were keen to reach The Tor, and at each check were seen heading UP. Too steep for me.

Now for some easy road running before we were off across fields wondering how much further before the regroup. When it arrived beside some ancient oaks, it was only a short respite before we went up hill again! With strange noises coming from the left we passed the Tor again before dropping down into Glastonbury and a short run back to the pub.

The evening was not over yet. When we arrived in the bar the Hares were sitting at a table with home made cakes for us. They were delicious and I ate too much! Thanks Harriet and Nick.
