Training Log Archive: Big Jon

Through Dess Woods, cow-shit alley and onto fields to NE, briefly into plantation (but too much bracken and nettles in rides) and back. feeling fairly lethargic, but going reasonably well at end.

travelling home from Rosyth and rest of day unpacking, catching up with e-mails :-( and 4 weeks of Attack Point :-)

Run along river Lesse - tarmac road and pretty boring, added in some intervals on return to feel I had done something positive.

12 x 30s+30s on grassy field. sluggish at start but got going OK, should have done more, but couldn't face them....!

Travel to Belgium - torrential rain overnight and packing up was a soggy nightmare! Sun was out by Belgium or we would have been hotelling!

outdoors at campsite in Belgium - felt good to have a breeze and sunshine while stretching.

Col de Schlucht to north - lovely run - stared in shitsville Col de Schlucht - tacky hotels, luge runs, cafes, carparks etc, in 2 minutes this was forgotten in lovely beech/pine forests, stony track. Superb views over great corries and ranks of hills towards NW and NW. Lots of walkers - all friendly and cheery.

Walks with Ewan and Sarah - ca 3 hours in total.... very slow.....

Route des Cretes - good section with a few rises, but no major climbs. Great views.
