Yep, that’s more or less the route I did when I was there. It’s a nice run up to the top as well though.........great views, say hello to the apes and of course downhill all the way back [emoji106]
Cheers! Just done it. Thought I’d taken a wrong turn when faced with a tunnel with a sign saying no pedestrians but decided to run through it. Couldn’t think of another way to get round.

Not me, but I was there... getting a massive chip time pb of 37:59. I was NOT expecting that!

Fantastic! Good stuff. I know the organisers like to big up the course’s PB potential. It is flat as a pancake but the wind invariably offers any gain you get from a flat-track. Good conditions today though. Enjoy your evening basking in a warm glow of satisfaction.

Not me - the closest I got was running in an Albion hat past the training ground
Well done to your Mrs for the PB.Just before my run this morning, a mate sent me a stunning picture he took during today's Mt Fuji marathon. Marvellous scene!

I also have a spare entry so if someone wants to come with a mate then we have two between us. On the other hand if anyone has a mince Pie they'd like to swap or sell then I know an interested party.
Mine’s now gone.
Scratch that - they’ve changed their mind! Still available!!
If it’s who I think it is, said friend should stay off his bike after four pints ..... [emoji846]

Correct - didn’t stop him drumming in his band’s gig on Sunday night though!

Here's an irony. Been running for 30 years and OK have collected a few injuries but I'm still at it. Many of my acquaintances have, over the years, said things like, "why don't you just walk - you'll avid those injuries". This week struck down with man-flu I took their advice and went for a series of (fast) walks. Result: I can't put any weight on my right foot.
I'm sticking to running - once I get over my walking injury.

It's strange how a lot foot injuries don't have any effect on running. I've had this pain on the bottom of my left foot the last couple of weeks. It's just a bruise and a little bit of swelling which I think is a result of wearing my winter boots for the first time in about 6 months. It was really affecting my walking last week, I almost had a limp because it would hurt when I put my foot down. Absolutely no problem when it comes to running though, I don't feel a thing.
