Bath Half Marathon

On a gorgeous Sunday morning I drove across the Somerset Levels up through the Mendips and into Bath for this year's half marathon. As you can see from the picture below it was clear blue skies, sunshine and a slight cooling breeze. You couldn't ask for more for a run around one of the prettiest of cities.



At the start it was difficult to make out who there were more of- spectators (above)......



...or runners. Including fairies.



The start was delayed by half an hour but eventually we were off. I have no idea where this was apart from not long after we got going.



This was crossing the River Avon for the first time - the Bath run involves two laps of the same course. Here we ran just outside the town before turning east and back in again.



Runners everywhere and spectators everywhere.....



This is the top of what is apparently a hill.



This is crossing the Avon for the second time and carefully observing the speed limit. Note the Telly Tubby - can anyone tell me which one this is?

The Telly Tubbie is 'Po' (Thanks Jenny!)



Finished at last - although it was a lot easier than fiddling about with the photo's on this blog.
