An early morning 5km run with James on the last day of a two day visit to Stratford (to see King John).Route: from 12 St Gregory’s Road, west on Mayfield and Jolyffe’s Park Road to reach Clopton Road and along this to the end (from where Lois took a different route to the obelisk) and then across significant mud to reach a faint path slightly uphill across grass to the corner of the field. Then north again across deep mud to reach a bridleway (crossing ridges and furrows) for 200m before turning right and descending slightly to the obelisk. Then back south past the Welcombe Hotel, through the Dingles, to reach Welcombe Road. At the end, right back onto St Gregory's Road.
Conditions: very muddy under foot, frosty and misty and with the sun just rising as we reached the obelisk.
Pub? Not at 9am!
