Wowzers the sun has got his hat on! Its blazing hot out here! With that in mind I drove across to Rendlesham Forest to see if running in the shade would be cooler for us both! I don’t think I appreciated how difficult the terrain would be though!
Our mountain buggy has massive tyres on it, but the paths were super bumpy. Luckily Jack found it funny, but certainly didn’t look like a comfy ride! With the best of intentions I don’t think we are cut out for off road running!
Despite the bumps and the heat we had picked a good location to be isolated. Very few people walking around and the paths were easy to pass anyone you did meet!
Wherever I run with Jack I’ve been trying to make sure he gets something out of it too! After all its not all just about running! So on route we stopped to explore the forest and the dens! Some fabulous creations made in the woods – this one had a pinecone fire pit!
Now…here is the thing though! Jack has decided that we have bears in our woods! He honestly thinks noises he hears are bears! Between that and the crows our exploring came to a quick end! It’s so hard explaining what some sounds are when you can’t see what is making them!
Oh and we lost monkey in the woods!I had to retrace our steps and thankfully found him! The amount of miles I have done to recover toys…. I should be much fitter!
