Today I drove over to Harden to the St Ives Estate. I've walken the route around the golf course and down past Lady Blantyre's Rock and Coppice Pond, many times, but never ran it before.
It is the hilliest and hardest route I've done so far, but it was fun, actually, and it's a nice place to run. The weather wasn't all that cracking, though. A bit wet and miserable.
Here's a pic of Lady Blantyre's Rock I took as I passed - it's where Lady Blantyre, the mother-in-law of one-time owner of the estate William Busfeild Ferrand, used to sit to read her book in the 1800s, and there's a wooden sculpture of her nearby.
