Ben Day40/365 Gildersome & Drighlington

Day 40 - two days more and I'm six weeks in - huzzah!

Ben Day40/365 - Garmin
Up in Leeds seeing relatives this weekend - in the village where I grew up. A quick 5 K over the old quarry and over the fields to the next village (Drigh) then back along the main drag past the M62. No one else out this evening, particularly near the fields and quarry - muddy fields and undulating running.

Nice to spend the day with my parents and sisters and their families - lots of planning and talk about next years canoe trips we're going to do together - we're planning canoe-Easter egg hunts and moonlight canoe trips with the kids on Windermere - winner! - you can camp on the shore of Lake Windermere at Low Wray, and put the boats straight in from outside the tent - secret of life!

Back to Bristol this evening - no. 1 son has a cyclo-cross race tomorrow morning and he needs to be fresh. School gave him a trophy yesterday, for winning his age category (Under 8) in the Western League. He was very proud!
Tomorrow afternoon will be spent cutting down our own Christmas tree and then decorating it with the kids!
