Open or Closed?

Despite feeling still a bit under the weather (summer cold!!) I thought a nice run might blow the cobwebs out...

Normal route this morning for 1 hour exactly (no more of the 3 hour marathon training runs for me for a while!!). Coming up the track to Enham Alamein I wasn't sure if nature had closed off the footpath - luckily there was a distinct absence of stinging nettles!!

It is sights like this that remind me I could never really live in a town - that and my experience this week of the UK's concrete jungle that is Milton Keynes!!
