Boscastle to pick up my car

🏆 Smuggler's Way FKT

LRR club run - gentle

Road run

Extra canicross practice

New fastest known time (by 35 minutes) on the "Dartmoor Crossing" route from Belstone to Ivybridge via bog and open Moorland.

Tough run, getting bad cramps later on (silly me for not taking any electrolytes on a hot day). Pushed through with the added motivation of doing this to save our right to wild camp on Dartmoor. (I'll make a post with my donation link, or find it on my Facebook / Instagram). 

I went out fairly fast to bank some time in the cooler part of the day. Found an optimum route across the bog after Hangingstone hill, and took a decent route over the elephant grass to Statt's house ruins. I chose to go on the other side of the river after the road track instead of fighting my way up to the leat. The rest was pretty much identical to the previous best time.
