Saturday 17th May - the Scruffy Triangle

The Start

Sun, sun, sun - what a lovely day for a run. We saw buzzards, heron (lots), pheasants & and geese. A gentle (apparently a bit fast) run around Alderley Park and 'Scruffy Hill' - some good running, good hill reps, good banter and VERY good cakes... we ran about 4 miles and it was lovely!
