I'm beginning to figure out how to plan my running routes in the rural parts of the English countryside surrounding the area im living in currently in Sout Gloucester. The countryside is covered in a network of footpaths and bridalways, most of which are hundreds of years old. The Countryside and Rights of Way Act allows people to travel on foot in all cases across private property where these rights of way exist, the local authorities are required to maintain records of these rights of way, which are published in Ordanance Survey maps, and on their websites. Using these maps i can plot new running routes across country, through fields, over hills, down lanes, giving me access to some very challenging runs in some beautiful parts of the world. We had some quite heavy rain today too, which i was excited to get out and run in to try out my clothing options for the Coastal Trail Series coming up next month! [5.14m - 41:55 - 09:09/m]
