Bournemouth bounce

Hi all,

In 2015 a friend and I tried to get to Bournemouth and back. Considering that neither of us had really trained for that distance it went surprisingly well. This year, I thought I'd give it a go again. I did it on my own this time as said friend was unavailable.

I packed my usual kit then hit the road.

I took a different route out to last year. I'm still not too happy about going down the A35, especially on the way back. Such a horrible road. I'll look for something a lot better next time.

Anyhew, about an hour and 50 mins later I arrived in Bournemouth. Nice. Good speed. Unfortunately after an hour dossing around on the beach my right knee decided it wasn't going to work properly any more. 30 miles on a shanked knee is not a good thing. Ah well. I made it home in pretty good time considering and I did manage to get an ice cream at the beach which is the most important thing.
