Arena 80 Minehead trip – The Return

Basically this happened. Again.

https://imfithove.wordpress.com/2014/05/25/annual-arena-running-trip-minehead/

Only managed a paltry 76 ish miles this time though.

Here are some photos of various outings.

Wimbleball Lake. This run was almost as horrible as last year but the weather was better, thankfully.

Starting the Bath canal run in horrible rain…

… which had gone within the first mile to leave a nice sunny day to complete the 13 mile route

Another pitch and putt course (still in Bath) and another chance to be utterly rubbish

The two teams unite at the end. Improvement from last year as a storming second last and no need to use the 10 shot maximum

After the descent of Dunkery Beacon. Photobombed by a horse…

… fittingly as the afternoon meant my first ride on a horse (specially sourced from the other stable)

On the way to Tarr Steps (avoiding fording the river)

A brief distraction from the (un)serious business of running

Getting stuck in to the Minehead vibe with a spot of crazy golf

Ahoy there ship mates!

Julian cueing up to beat the train

Walking up Bob’s Hill unintentionally recreating The Evolution of Man

Another successful holiday. Who knows what awaits us next year…
