Today's "Sunday Run", saw Team Grizzly Bears complete 16 moorland miles and has to be toughest run we have done so far this winter!
With a 3 mile climb at the start which included negotiating rocks and stones, all of which were slippery with ice, this run was never going to be easy. However, off we went and under blue skies and sunshine the runners did brilliantly. Lifting their knees through the long grass, running through bogs and fords, climbing up and down rocks, some tripping and falling but all running the 16 miles in great times.

The route took us from Norsworthy Bridge at the eastern end of Burrator Reservoir, via Raddick Lane, Cramber Tor , Eylesbarrow, Drizzlecombe Stone Rows and Ditsworthy Warren to the top of Sheeps Tor. We returned to Norsworthy taking in Sheepstor Village, Burrator Wood, Meavy Village, Lowery Cross and Leather Tor Bridge. Top marks go to Martyn for leading the team through the deep freezing waters of Meavy ford.

Finishing, back at Norsworthy, Vicki took the initiative, leading us back into the river for a refreshing dip before returning home with a license to eat!
