Today we had perfect
conditions for one of our really lovely scenic routes.
30 of us met in the car park and
after a short briefing, all three
groups set out from the Eustagia Way parking. A slow and short uphill on the
brick paved road and then it was a downhill jog on some nice soft beach
sand.
We then made our way along some single track towards Llandudno Beach. Each group ran their own distance along the beach, a little boulder hopping, and then returned the same way before heading to Sandy Bay. We did a bit of bundu bashing to find the path from the beach to the single track, and then some undulating running along the coastline until we came to see Oude Schip.
Some runners went to the end of the peninsula, while others headed towards the final slow climb up to Rocket Road. From there we continued along the road, and made our way back to the cars. Distances completed by the various groups were Fast group: 12.9km, Medium group: 11.4km and Slow group: 7.5km.

Pete also reports that the Slow group had a really enjoyable run with no incidents other than 'losing' Randolph on the island, but all ended well.
Some may have noticed the odd windowless stone building to the right near the top of the climb up from the island. This was the Rocket life saving apparatus store that was used to rescue the crew of ships that had run aground.
