Arrived with son in law Matt who had not run since June this year, his idea was to run 30 mins. Stared with a circuit of the big house at the top of the hill – down the hill to cover 1k in 5.22 at the bottom, go L passing the cafe, lake and tram tracks. Then L up a slight incline and into the woods on time. Off round the other side of the lake to get ready for long drag up the bloody hill (200 ft ascent slightly easier than Sunderland). 3.5 k gone and Matt needed a breather, so he kindly let me carry on. At the top there was another circuit of the big house, stopping the watch at 28.59 (165/290). Matt come in at 30.33 (188/290) A good effort. Unfortunately there was a long queue at the finish due to one scanner breaking down. Then it was off to McD’s for a well deserved breakfast.
