An evening run today. I decided to try out an extension to the route that takes me to White Fen. At the end of White Fen Drove a track leads off to the left which then cuts diagonally across a grassy field (after crossing a narrow wooden bridge over a ditch). The track then passes Oily Hall, another National trust piece of land, which is currently being grazed by some sheep to keep the scrub down. The track then rejoins Fen Road which passes a polo club before returning to Lode on my usual route. The total length of this run is 9.9 miles and I managed a time of 1 hr 31'15". The second half of the run was into a strong head wind with driving rain, so the time was not too bad.
Total distance for March 2010 of 103.3 miles (165.7 km).
The windy and rainy conditions were not good for birds but between White Fen and Oily Hall I saw a Grey Heron, 2 Meadow Pipits and a flock of 18 Snipe flew low over the field. There was also a single Roe Deer just out of Lode.
