6.50km Slight variation on yesterday's run

Considering that I failed to find the path leading up from Lyons Lane yesterday and that I allegedly knew how to find the top part of the same path, I decided to re-route my run so that I ran down this path rather than up it. Sensible you might think...

So, Park Loop up to and including Green Lane, then right into Longwood Road until reaching the top of this path. I then ran down it for a fair distance only to find the route going around the Cricket Ground was blocked by a fence (which appears as one continuous path in the Warrington A-Z). The path did however branch right onto Chalfont Close that led down to Lyons Lane.

Today, I spotted this elusive path from Lyons Lane end. It had a large metal gate preventing public access!

After that, I used the same route as yesterday, running up Hall Drive, through Beachways, along Dunlow Green, before turning left onto London Road. I then followed London Road to the Cat & Lion traffic lights, turning left into Stretton Road, continuing until reaching the bus stop finish just before St. Matthew's School (Gmap of route). Total distance was 6.50km (4.04 miles).

A new route...

Today's new 6.32km (3.93 mile) route involved part of the Park Loop (up to and including Green Lane), then off route to Cann Lane, straight on along Lyons Lane, until reaching Broomfields.

I was trying to find this path off Lyons Lane, but missed it and ended up...

...climbing back uphill up Hall drive, through the housing estate of Beachways, along Dunlow Green that Joins London Road.

Left onto London Road and continuing until the Cat & Lion Lights, turning left at Stretton Road until reaching the bus stop finish just before St. Matthew's School.

Completion time of 28:53, giving a respectable average speed of 13.13kmh (8.16mph) considering there were a few uphill climbs to take into consideration. Today's overall pace was 4:34 per km (7:21 per mile).
