So I set off to do 10 miles heading to Reedham, and along the Wherryman's Way to Berney Arms and then from there via Weavers Way to Halvergate before heading home - well at least that was the plan.....
Heading to Reedham I have duly noted the beer festival happening next weekend.
Get to Reedham and as soon as I was on the Wherryman's way route my shoes were soaked from the water in the long grass that is the path.
Below is the reeds in the river.
There were loads of these butterflies as well as dragonflies and some annoying horseflies.
Must be really peaceful to live here.
From Berney Arms, there are two routes back to Halvergate and last year I only ever did one of them as it was mainly hard-surfaced based with fantastic views.
On this day, I decided to explore the other route that starts at Berney Arms train station and duly noted the warning of standing water being on this route.
It was all on fields but well sign-posted with Weaver Way signs.
Lots of muds, cows, cowpats, and standing water as promised with some parts so waterlogged that there were planks to help you across.
Moo!
Now I thought this route would be quicker than my normal route but it snaked it way along the edge of a number of fields, winding back and forth, so in the end I did an extra 2.5 miles than planned but also spent an extra 90 minutes as a result because a lot of that route was not really suited to running.
