I had not been on Garmin Connect since January, but today I charged my Garmin Forerunner watch and set off for a circuit of Wendover Woods. This starts near where we used to live and a paved track takes you to a very short uphill path that now has a handrail. Hurrah! I can then turn right or left for a path that stays at fairly low level before it starts to head up this part of the Chiltern Ridge. Today I had turned right and the path up the hill reaches the Wendover Woods parkrun course. Turning left here would be a short cut, but instead today a right turn still makes it's way uphill.
This route then follows the parkrun course (in it's opposite direction) for nearly three quarters of it's distance, eventually going past the café. Further on I leave the route to start a long haul back down to the low level near the RAF Halton barracks. A path under the trees takes me back to the start.
Garmin Connect tells me it was 4.70 miles in a time of 1 hour 41 minutes. An average of 21.22 minutes per mile with 647 feet of climbing. The weather was fine, chilly at the start but some sun later on. Not having been on Garmon Connect for a long time, it took a while for all the updates. But I could copy the route as the photo above. I will take my watch out again for my future walks.
