PUB RUN – DINNINGTON (27th December 2018)
Perhaps because it was so close to Christmas, only 5 of us turned out for this Pub Run (Me, Bungy, Fez, Louise, and Phil). We split into 3 groups. The cold mist tonight reduced visibility to just a few yards. I led around a loop of between 4 and 5 miles. From the pub, we ran northeast along the Roman road and took the second turning on the right. The narrow lane turned out to be muddy and littered with wind debris. Towards the end, we ascended and entered the eastern end of Hinton St George. Continuing westward through the village, and beyond via Pit Road, we came back into Dinnington. A right turn, and run along the lane took us back to the Pub. The Pub was warm, and the food was good. Thanks, Phil for organising. Not having a photo, I’ve posted one taken at Boxing Days run near Somerton. You probably ask why?
