On the road again
The proposed Sunday night excursion did not take place due to a bit of a relapse and I spent my time tucked up in bed finally nodding off about three hours before getting up for work.
I survived the day at work, mainly by eating nothing more than a couple of energy gels.
My stomach problems finally abated overnight and Tuesday I was almost back to normal. I took it easy on the food front and was feeling well enough after work to don the trail shoes and head off to The Griffin.
After an easy seven and a bit miles and I was walking into the pub feeling not the worse for the effort. It felt good to be, hopefully, over the maladies that have befallen me of late.
Another day later, and due to sickness at work, I needed to work a couple of night shifts. Not too bad, it’s only two nights and I’ll be all done by 07:00 on Friday ahead of my week’s holiday.
I started from Kingshurst and followed the River Cole, through Stetchford, to Hay Mills before joining the canal for the final couple of miles to work.
