11.58km Grappenhall Heys and Dingle Loop

I ran the newly planned 11.58km Grappenhall Heys and Dingle Loop that I intend to run with John on Thursday (if he's up for it).

The route basically involves very few and very short bits of road running (600 metres in total), the rest is tracks, farmers fields, common land, and woodland.

The woodland part is a bit of a treat, which I discovered only on Friday - I never knew it existed and have run passed it many times without ever knowing it was there.

Whilst it is not particularly a fast course, it is a very enjoyable one away from cars and other traffic in some of the nicest areas.

Although I must admit, I began to find the going tough at about the 8km mark, this was probably due to refereeing last night, considering a referee will run between 10km and 12km in each game.
