Having done the East and Westside separately in 2023, I had been meaning to return to do the whole route. Perfect weather and an early start allowed for a successful run.
I resupplied at my car on Vinyard Street after the first loop. I took 1.5ltr water on each loop which I had prepared, it was just enough in the heat towards the end. There are some good runnable sections especially in the first half and going over Cleeve Hill. Also the final 10miles can make you time if you have the energy left.
Navigation is via Winchcombe Way signage and fence/stile post signs but I highly recommend following a GPX route on watch or handheld for the sparser areas.
My notes:
Early mornings meant wet feet for most of it. Cows were fine in most fields. There were two significant climbs. Fuelling went mostly well. Pheasants are stupidly tame. GPX route was accurate.
