PUB RUN – SHERBORNE – BRITANNIA INN – (30TH JANUARY 2025)
From Mark: There was just JC, Louise, and myself in the not so fast group tonight.
I led an anti-clockwise loop through the town which incorporated Hospital lane, Newland, Oborne road, Castle Town Way, Vernalls road, and Priestlands, taking us over to the steps.
The air was cool, and one of the planets was brightly visible above us. We continued up through Coombe road, and had a discussion on how to pronounce “coombe” as opposed to “combe”. Both are celtic for valley. We climbed the muddy path, and crossed over to Sheeplands, and continued down to the new Vets building. Crossing over the A30, we then ran along Bradford road, and down the paths to Westbridge Park. We ran via Hunts Mead to Lenthay road.
We slogged along Lenthay road, down Ottery lane, and back along Westbury to the pub.
After the run, we joined, Phil, Stephen, Guy, and Fez in the pub for the meal. The food was good and plentiful. Thanks Phil for organising.
