Stoneymollen Race

19 Millies braved the wild moorland that is the Stoneymollen race, shame the roll of red & white tape put out last night had been removed by some warped person. Still made for some interesting route choices.

Perfect night, sunny but cool with a slight breeze.

Set out near the back and took it steady past the kennels. Managed to keep the breathing under reasonable control on the way up the track, pace rising & falling in line with the gradient.

Pushed on over the undulating Bromley & Overton Muirs for the short fast descent down towards the Radio Mast. Usual swampy, gorse filled tunnel before the farm track, fast as you dare at the steep top section then work a bit harder as it levels out before the last couple of killer hills towards the cemetry and a dash down Overton road to finish.
