A 6km early evening run round the north east side of Cockermouth across a new-to-us footbridge.Route: from the rectory, running through the cemetery to the gate onto Sustrans Route 71 and then left across the new road bridge on Sandybeck Way. Following this round to take the third left connecting - for pedestrians only - to Ullswater Drive. Turning left from this onto Swinside Close and via a path to Loweswater Close and via Gable End to Slatefell Drive. Following this to the end and then along a path to a footbridge over Bitter Beck.
Turning right onto St Helen’s Street and then back along Castlegate Drive to Beech Lane, climbing to the highest point of the run and then descending via Isel Road to the Jennings Brewery. Keeping close to the river to reach Aldi and then back along the Greenway to a gate half way along the cemetery and hence home.
Conditions: yet another sunny day, after a week of such days.
Pub? No because earlier, before lunch, the Punch Bowl, Great Broughton for Brimstage Trapper’s Hat.
