Chobham Common (running viral day 24)
Today I felt like doing a twenty-miler, which I did, and I roped a big blank space into my running viral survey in the process. It was a bit overkill, because my intent had been to fill in a blank in the southeast quadrant, in the areas of Swinley Forest separated by Bagshot Road.
But I ran quite far as well, and that was actually the whole point. I wanted to experience a 'mostly forest' run over 20 miles starting and ending at home. The problem with filling in the southeast quadrant is Bagshot Road itself, and the golf course that lies just to the north of it.
It was a great run, and I went through Windlesham along the way, a quaint village I'd always wanted to see. For future reference, next time I go to the Chomham Common area I want to return to its more southern reaches, along whose perimeter I used visit by bicycle when I used to live in Egham.
Here's the cumulative, 24 day, trace, so far. I'm told it looks like a flower:
