PUB RUN – SOUTH PETHERTON – (10th August 2023)
From Mark: Sue planned routes for the not so fast runners who later split into long and short groups. Eight of us started (Sue, Rob, JC, Rachael, myself, Alison, Julie, and Mel). With Sue leading we left the pub and ran towards Carey’s Hollow. The group turned to run along Whitfields lane and stopped at the allotments for photos before splitting. The longer group led by Sue continued off-road running down Smokeclose lane and along Moondown lane. From Moor we crossed the A303 and then headed up to Watergore and went off-road again. Fields, an orchard, and camp site took us to a narrow track leading down to Over Stratton. We continued along lanes to Lower Stratton. Going off-road we looped our way back to Over Stratton. A bonfire somewhere provided us with smoke. We ran different paths back to Watergore, and crossed the A303 again. From Moor we continued back to South Petherton. Thanks Sue for an enjoyable mostly cross country run. A big group stopped for the pub meal afterwards. Thanks Phil for organising.
