Stunning Morning

Duncan dropped me off early doors again this morning and I ran along Wallsuches and up onto George's Lane.  It was again very slippery underfoot in places which is a shame as I was running really well but the ice slowed me down a lot.

I ran along to the Pike then went up the steep side and on top came across a couple who were just putting down their pop up shelter as they had been huddled up in it watching the sunrise.  Awww, how romantic!

It really was beautiful this morning though, really sunny but very cold.  The views were really far reaching and it was great to be out.

From the Pike, I ran along to the Pigeon Tower then carried on along the track until I reached the stile on the left hand side which I then crossed and ran down to the bridge at Dangerous Corner.  As I was running along from here towards the car park, I kept seeing and hearing deer.  There were loads out and about this morning.  I attempted to get a picture of some which ran across my path but by the time I had got my phone out of my bag they were way up the hill.  There are three in this picture.  Can you spot them?

Whilst fumbling with my camera with gloves on to take the picture of the deer, I managed to take an accidental fellfie...

From the car park, I then zigzagged my way up through the terraced gardens, coming back out at the Pigeon Tower.  I then ran along George's Lane, dodging all the icy puddles before heading home through Wilderswood.

What a lovely morning to be out!  If I hadn't had to get home to start work (I'm working from home today), I could have stayed out for hours!  I hope I feel this good next Saturday for the Hobble.
