My New Favourite Short Ruby Route

I did this same route last Thursday and really enjoyed it so had another go tonight.  The route goes straight up from my house through the edge of Wilderswood, up to Two Lads, over to the Mast then across to the Pike and home. 

The reason I like it is because it’s a good route for Ruby.  As the majority of it is on muddy fells, it’s nice and soft on her paws and I find that she doesn’t get as tired as quickly.  Also, when I’m between Two Lads and the Mast and between the Mast and the Pike, as long as I can see that there are no sheep around, I can let her off the lead which is nice.  I am a bit afraid though in case there are sheep I can’t see and she catches sight of one.  I really don’t know what I’d do because she wouldn’t come back and the thought of it terrifies me as she’d probably end up getting shot.
When I was running back home down Brownlow Road, a Citroen Picasso was in front of me and it was driving that slow that I ended up having to walk behind it until I could safely overtake it.  Come on mate, there’s something seriously wrong if you’re getting overtaken by me!!!  
Positive comments – Really enjoyed the run, felt sluggish at first but got into a good stride after a while
Total distance – 5 miles
