Cartmel race course

I was interested to see that, where the footpath goes across the race course, there is a removable footpath bridge so that the walkers do not damage the surface. I would not have thought a path across the grass would impact the horses but it must do or they would not have gone to the effort of making this bridge.
I led the fast walkers this morning:-  9.4km in just under two hours. Very pleased with myself and very ready for some lunch.
