Torchlight Run #4 (21/11/2011) - Brereton
Another nice route suggested by Chris Brumby that started and finished at The Bears Head car park, I like these night runs more and more, could it be the pub finish?

Six of us tonight, Chris B, Jill, Chris C, Mik, Heather and myself. We set off along tarmac towards Brereton Hall, passed St Oswalde's church onto Muddy Lane, no mud tonight though, passed Bagmere Bank Farm to Brereton Heath.
Once at the Heath we cut diagonally through the woods for the first of two laps around Brereton Mere exiting through the same gate we entered. It was then through two fields, the footpaths were not obvious but thankfully due to his local knowledge Chris led us back to the far end of Brereton Heath without a problem for our second lap of the woods and Brereton Mere.
We exited the Heath again then retraced our route back along Muddy Lane and our return to the Bears Head for some refreshment.

The route was a flat 5.9 miles at an easy pace so nobody was left behind. Many thanks to Mik for organising it and Chris for the route... very enjoyable.
