Run 42:00 [3] 8.2 km (5:07 / km)
Final session in Exeter, this time heading into town to see what the area along the river looks like. Pretty stiff in the first few minutes but developed into a fairly standard recovery run after that.
There were local elections in Exeter yesterday. There were still a few leftover signs at polling booths but not the wholesale decoration of any wall within cooee with banners extolling the virtues of one or other of the candidates (I'm not sure if this is because of custom, law, or because no-one - apart from the five Labour leadership candidates who were all in town - really cares that much about who gets elected to the Exeter City Council). Also not a sausage sizzle in sight.
So began the journey home, with a stop at Bristol to catch up with Grace and Matt for lunch. I really liked Bristol on my previous visit in 1989 (despite getting the worst sunburn I've ever had in my life while I was there, after a sunny day at the cricket) and it looks like it's still got a good vibe. I've never been so much of a fan of London and only spent a few hours there this time.
