In view of time (apologies again Daren!) and starting from the bottom of the hill, we opted to run our intended route in the reverse direction.
Thus we ran across the main road into New Way Lane and left up into Wellcombe Bottom, before tackling the steep side of Wolstenbury Hill. I thought this was harder than the tank tracks, but Daren thought it was shorter, so easier. Either way, it was steep steep steep and there was a sense of euphoria at having reached the top without stopping.
From there we dropped down into Pycombe Village, up the South Downs Way through the golf course and then down past Jack & Jill… where I had a strange sense of deja vu!
4.5 miles in 54 minutes, 5mph.. certainly an improvement on my earlier speed!
