A chilly 42 miler, it has to be said that the Paddington branch of the Grand Union canal is the scummiest bit of canal I've ever seen, dead animals/dog mess/rubbish all the way into Little Venice it just plain horrible, it got a bit better once it becomes the Regent Canal which passes through the middle of London Zoo, so at one point i had exotic birds on one side of me and a pack of Hyena on the other!!, i carried on through Camden and onto Victoria park, then it was onto the River Lea and on to home, felt very good and decided to run the last 5 miles which was remarkably easy :-)
It was good to catch up with a number of people taking part in the T2T race and i walked the first 6 miles with Tricia, Steph and Rach, Perks and Matt from the www.themds.co.uk they appeared to have an equally dull walk up the Grand union canal to Tring.
