5.83km Thorn/Pewterspear Combination Anticlockwise Loop

Cricket Ground, London Road, Stretton (5.3km into the run)
















Preamble:

Basically it rained heavily all morning, then at 1:30pm just as I was about to begin my run it stopped raining for the first time that day, some clouds moved aside revealing some blue sky and the sun shone down. Timing is everything! It was quite windy in places but it was now very pleasant indeed. There were plenty of very large ankle deep puddles along the way.


Thorn/Pewterspear Combination Anticlockwise Loop (5.83km):

I ran the Thorn/Pewterspear Combination Anticlockwise Loop. This is basically the Thorn Loop whereby where the Park Loop route merges, you continue along the remaining Park Loop - that is until you exit the Old Pewterspear Garden track where you instead run along London Road, turning left at the Cat & Lion lights along Stretton Road finishing at the bus stop immediately before the School. Total distance as recorded by my NavMan was 5.83km.
