Went up to the Ashridge Monument and commenced my normal run (pausing for a little photo opp!
As you can see, fantastic weather for a run! Went all the way down to invinghoe beacon but instead of turning around and heading back, I felt pretty good to attempt the 16 mile round trip of the Ashridge boundary trail.
Map in hand and the wonder of the trail markers left by the lovely people of the national trust I headed off towards the hills.
However as with all best made plans, things went wrong! I must have missed a marker or something, ended up running a couple of miles in the wrong direction!!! Mood heading downward I followed my map back towards the trail. Saw loads of deer on the way and found myself back at the monument, figured that someone up there didn't want me to do the full 16 miles so I stuck with completing a nice 8.72 mile route.
Satisfaction achieved!!
