Being a point to point and running solo required a bit of planning,  Had tried the week before, but was limited in time so could only complete 20 miles.  This however gave me a good understanding of the logistics, and at least the first half of the route,

Park at Nantwich Train Station.

Jog to the Bus Station

84 to Tiverton

Fuel up at Lockgate Coffee House, then continued run mainly along canal to the start.

Very good running at first and easy to navigate.  As I started to tire, coincided with tougher sections both difficult underfoot and hills.

Really wanted to get it done so toughed it out.  Stopped of for a drink at Grindley Brook Petrol Station (hence unsupported!)  Only place where I went wrong; backtracked after a few hundred metres and on to the finish.  May have overshot the finish as carried on to the A49 to make sure.

Drink and meal at Willeymoor Lock Tavern

Walk back to Whitchurch Station, train to Nantwich and back home in time for MOTD!
