Intervals to Tarr Steps

My day started with an interval session.The plan called for 200m fast, 100m recovery, times 15, of course I adapted it. It became 200m fast, walk 100m, jog 100m back to start, at interval 9 the call of nature was shouting very loudly at me, I looked at the bushes, I looked at the house (training on football field at back of house) weighed it up for a nano second and opted for the comfort of my own toilet seat and headed home.

Mrs W whom used to have the misfortune of sitting opposite me at work, is holidaying on the North Devon coast, so this afternoon Madam and I set out to meet her and her family for a good old Devon cream tea. I had poured over the map and found Tarr Steps which I thought was a good mid way point for us to hook up. Fortunately for them they got the correct post code from the web site, unfortunately for me I did not! I got the post code that wanted me to drive through deep water. Mrs Sat Nav has many settings, but I could not find the one that said ‘re route to one where my feet won’t get wet or car washed away’ luckily a local pointed me in the right direction and finally we arrived, if a little late.

Tarr Steps is lovely.

No Mrs Sat Nav it is too deep

Great place to paddle

Madam had a try and when I asked her what she did about her wet feet, the reply came ‘I used my cardigan to dry them’ sometimes they just let you down don’t they?

I think this crack was there before I walked over Tarr Steps having eaten two massive scones, but I can’t be certain!
