Afternoon 🌞
Totally new route this morning
Had to use Organic Maps (on the fly) to plot my way through the trail part.
Left at 0528Hrs
Temp 26c Humidity 77% and a pleasinig stiff wind
15K
10k of which was done on roads
5K trail run - though to call the trail bit a run is generous, it was climbing, scrambling, sliding hiking and running...and it was so much fun.
I've a bucket load of photos which I'll try and post, when I'm not doing chores.
some more photos from this mornings run
Last four photo's, from my run today
Jul 3, 2026, 12:24 PM@robchapman Oh such a great adventure. I love to do that: turn into a path I've never been before (or off the path for what matters) and later having to use organic maps to get back to known territory.
@teufen I kinda knew the way I wanted to go, when I was on the national park...but up there, there are no signposts, so it is very easy to get turned around and end up going in the wrong direction, by thinking a trail will snake back on itself, so yeah had to use the map to find the right route which turned into more of a climb, pretty technical, got very dusty, but hat tip to the runners and hikers who've updated the map routes...absolute stars!
@sebastianhahn Thanks...it was, had a bit of an orienteering vibe, which was kinda cool
