Beachy Head looking a little mean & moody yesterday morning. . This was actually the best weather of the day. This storm had just blown over & ahead of us was a little sunshine & small patches of blue sky. . 20 miles & several hours later & the mist dropped, the wind picked up & the rain blew at us from all directions. It was pretty horrendous tbh & if I wasn’t with @helen__putnam I would have given up & headed home. 15 miles being battered by the weather is character building to say the least! . But skin is waterproof, as long as we kept moving it wasn’t cold & as very few other people were crazy enough to venture out we had almost the whole South Downs to ourselves! We wanted adventure & we got it! . #storm #rainyrun #skiniswaterproof #trailrunning #sdw
Running the wrong way along the South Downs Way... . First time running east to west & it’s like a completely different trail, ups are downs & downs are ups & the views are completely different. Well when we could see them, no photos from the second half as the mist, rain & wind hid them all 🤷🏼‍♀️ . Starting on the Eastbourne seafront we ran over the Seven Sisters, enjoying the only bit of sunshine & blue skies of the day, and then carried on along the trail to the Jack & Jill windmills where we turned off & headed to Hassocks, a change of clothes, warmth (is it really July?), food, drink & the train home. . Helen’s longest EVER run & I’m so pleased I got to share it with her! She was still bounding along with loads of energy at the end whereas I was really struggling. I wondered how I managed 100 miles just six weeks ago & then reminded myself I did 100 miles just six weeks ago & tbf I’m still a little fatigued from that. I’m thankful I am able to still do the long trail runs that bring me so much happiness. . Still, tiredness, mist, wind & rain didn’t spoil a brilliant run. Helen took the day off work & said she wanted to do an epic run... I think we achieved that! 😁 . #rin #runner #running #trailrunning #sdw #southdownsway
A very pleasing early morning bimble around the Croydon trails, down to the North Downs & finishing with breakfast in Caterham 🙌🏻 . This was a final recce to confirm the route for the next Striders trail run at the end of the month, it’s a beaut of a run! A lovely mixture of woodland & field trails starting off on local Surrey paths, before flirting briefly with Kent & making it’s way westwards along the NDW. . Cooler this morning which was nice but I did miss the sunshine. . #run #runner #running #trailrunning
Thoughtful... 💭 . Mid-wedding shoot 📸 Taking a quick break before the dancing & partying starts 💃🏼🕺🏼 . #lifeasaweddingphotographer
