Do You Get Fog In Woods?

You have to love the longer evenings.  If for nothing more than being able to cosy up and chill out in front of the log burner and now for my new found love of night trail running.

I had my first experience of this back in March when I completed an adventure race on exmoor.  Since then I have been out running at dusk on easy tracks and trails.  Last night however I ventured off with PJ for an exploration over the Bath Skyline.  For a first night trail run I would of thought this would have been easy.  Its a course we both know well and the route is well marked.

It soon became a navigation run as we ascended onto the hills into dense fog and the challenge became finding the path, dodging cows which are difficult to see when lying down and generally trying to stay on 2 feet.

If you have never been out night running I highly recommend it.  Its a chance to see nature in a different light.  Hear new sounds and see paths and familiar landscapes in a completely different light (literally).   Its amazing to sit overlook the city and see the glow from the street lights in the fog.  To the red and green eyes of the creatures of the night reflecting off the head torches.
