Another glorious afternoon, an ideal candidate for an early exit from work. The wind was coming from the north-west and it wasn’t particularly light, but it was properly warm and sunny out there.
Set off fully intending to go up over Swarkestone Bridge then west but before I got to the turn for Coleorton I’d decided to do a Twycross Bypasser instead.
I did a bit of the old Dad’s Army route at the bottom end. Nice down there. I went through Upton, but I didn’t see the two old petrol pump ornaments I was looking for last time. I must plan a route to go past them.
Up through Bosworth, Barton and Burgoland. Back on 39.28 miles.
Tuned into 5 Live for their all-day political celebrations, very pleased with themselves for their victory over ordinary people as you’d expect.
Back on 39.28 miles. Lovely run out. I’m almost getting used to going out with bare limbs, but I’ll certainly miss it when I’m pulling on overtrousers over jogging pants in two fleeces in five months’ time.
