Dip Day

Aside from family & friends, the main thing I'm missing during lockdown is swimming. Both ploughing up and down a pool, short dips to cool off and leisurely summer river swims.

With the temperatures set to be relatively high again, I went out early for my run and headed up through Cottingley woods to Goit Stock, a five mile run that left me suitably warm and ready for a cold plunge. It was every bit as delightful as imagined. Ok not for everyone I know! Another 5 miles to get home, then a day chilling in the garden and a post dinner family walk to Northcliffe.
