Beautiful Greenwich Run

Paul asks if I am running at lunchtime and I agree it is a good idea.  We decide to run to the Greenwich Observatory and back.   It is supposed to be fully open after the Olympics.

The pace is quiet tidy as was head across the Isle of Dogs.  Down through the foot tunnel and to the park.  The park is still a building site.  We can't run up to the observatory.  The road is still closed and the only open footpath is narrow and crowded.  We get stopped by a banksman halfway up the climb to let a lorry out.  At the top end of the park we sweep round the boulevard and down to the bottom of the park.

It is beautiful.  Autumn is in full effect and the trees are changing all manner of colours.  The temperature is nice and it is sunny.   We pass through the back streets and past the Trafalguar Pub.  We run along the river and back through

A fantastic run and as I said to Paul, as good as a lunchtime run gets.
