tandle hill

Tandle Hill Country Park is literally 5 minutes from my parents’ house. A beautiful park of Beach and Fir trees. The hill itself is home to a war memorial and offers sweeping views of Greater Manchester and even the South Wales mountains on a clear day.

As kids we spent endless summer days playing in the woods, jumping streams, making dens.

When I visit the park these days, it’s for walking, running or biking.

On our first two days in the UK we’ve had an early morning walk each day before breakfast. The tracks are rough and steep in places, which makes it quite tough pushing the two baby buggies.

This afternoon I did a pair run with Luke. Tied in with his afternoon nap, pushing the baby buggy while running is great endurance training.

A guy on a horse asked me, “What are you training for?”
“The Japan Cup!” I replied.

Tuesday AM: asaren walking (1h30)
