5.5m Bois des Chenes, La Cezille, Bassins valley

With the mini foulee Glandoise - it took a while to get going.

There were lots of people and many had great excuses for not going up hill. As usual Paul shot off with the young guns and I muddled along in the middle looking out for the hills and fixing my bearings. At each turn there was a lengthy debate about which way to go.

The switch back was fine and finally the 6 broke off with a lead young gun and up we went. A farmer put a baby rabbit back in the woods which was very sweet and as we climbed the views back down to the lake were fantastic and the farmland and woods were majestic in the early evening light.

Paul was right there with the two teenagers the whole way. When we waited for the ladies to catch up he lay down to recover and got plants thrown at him by the big boys.

The top path on the other side of the sawmill was very muddy and wet, which was fun to run through.

At the end I've never seen Paul look so tired, but he held the pace all the way and we got back to the cars together - agreeing 500m out that neither of us fancied a sprint finish much!

Fantastic running from the wee man, well done Paul I am a very proud dad.
