On the way home from my strength and conditioning one to one session this morning, I was driving along Horrobin Lane when I saw John Coope, Hazel and Nicole running towards me. On a whim I decided to pull over and have a little jog out with them, seeing as I was already in athletic gear and had some time to kill.
I ran along The Street with them and then towards the Yew Tree and along to the bridleway at Healey Nab.
Part way along the bridleway, there is a public footpath sign on the right which goes into a field. I've never been along this path before, but believed it led out to the bend near Watermans Cottage where all the steps are so I decided to give it a go and I left John and the girls there as they continued on to White Coppice.
It was lovely to have their company for the first few miles and I'm really glad I saw them rather than just driving home and slobbing out on the couch.
The 'new' track was lovely, if a little on the muddy and slippery side. It was a nice little trail through woodland skirting Anglezarke Reservoir. When I uploaded to Strava later on, the only one of my friends who has done the route before (or at least Strava'd it) was Adrian H so it doesn't look like it's a route many people do.
At the end of the trail, I followed the road past Watermans Cottage and then turned right after it, through the woods on the other side of Anglezarke.
I then followed the Anglezarke trail out onto the road and then ran along and up the 'cascade' towards Yarrow Reservoir. From there, I just ran back down to the van on Horrobin Lane, had a quick stretch and drove home.
P.S. No foot pain!
Total distance - 6.1 miles
