"a good splashing of mud" - what a great image that conjures

what a day,considering that i had,nt done any type of walking since the two crosses in January (due to a virus and family commitments)i thought i would use this walk to kick start my regime for the coming year.The weather was spring like with a good splashing of mud.The course was tough,though i wouldnt expect anything less from the organisers and the stretch from claybank to bloworth crossing was a challenge on its own.THANKS for a great day,see you all next year.
