Route

One of the last training sessions before Snowdon in a couple of weeks time.

The Thames Valley Park/Sonning path cuts right through the Berkshire and Oxfordshire borders, with a great mix of open spaces across, dirt trail and path. Took a photo on a real moody & cloudy afternoon. Kinda has that ‘Now We Are Free’ feel to it from Gladiator… no?
