Stunning, great and spectacular day out, not that there was much running the first 5k or the following 5k and the 5k after that ;) A solid 700m up for the first part, then at around 2000m altitude the old service road was covered in rock falls and some snow and then turned into a dead end track. At the end there was a forestry house/shelter, which we had to climb up and around to get past. Then it was directly down, 250m in not a long distance, as it was a near a sher drop that serpentined it's way down past the concrete and iron snow protection for the village below. Then we hit then main busy path on this mountain, (as Brits would say it was like Blackpool Beach) where we meet 10 hikers and 6 trail runners for the next 3-4km down. Yet there was still another 3km to do before we could have a cooling down dip in the river.

@woollypigs looks absolutely magnificent. Some fabulous altitude on a fun Sunday adventure
@robchapman yes it was and I found €2 so not a bad day out ;)
@woollypigs excellent day out, my last half marathon which was a few weeks before I hurt my heel I found a €2 coin, I counted that as a good day.as.well.😁
@robchapman ohh do we get to find €4 when we run a marathon then?
@woollypigs sounds about right, or a €5 note... though they are getting rather than rocking horse shit, especially here in Malta
@robchapman maybe you should print some ;)
@woollypigs yeah, I don't think that'd go down all that well, tbh
@robchapman forgot to ask how's the foot?
@woollypigs A little bit better than last week, still not perfect - gonna run in the morning, see how things go...step by step with determination
@robchapman a great news just avoid fireworks work shops, ok
@woollypigs property up to 2Km away was damaged in that explosion... actually check the before and after slider picture in this story, literally nothing left that was there before

Mapped: How a fireworks factory blast damaged homes up to 2km away

The law requires a 183-metre buffer zone. Salina's explosion left a trail of damage well beyond that

@robchapman wow, the animals/birds probably died from the shock.
@woollypigs Yeah, no one thought about the animals when they literally left the chemicals for a bomb a few hundred metres away... hopefully the bird park won't be closed for too long, as I love seeing the peacocks and parrots when I come back home off run's that take in that route...
