00:00I chose this route which was a loop from Hope Village to Windhill Summit because it was easily
00:08accessible by the bus. I chose to do the full 20 kilometres for my run but there are lots of
00:14opportunities to cut the route down and make it a bit shorter for other walks and runs. In case you
00:19couldn't tell I'm thoroughly out of breath after climbing up that hill but just look at the view
00:24that I've been rewarded with. This is why I say that Sheffield is the best city because
00:29how the hell is this on the doorstep? But there's also no rest for the wicked because look at the hill
00:35I am about to climb up. Let's go! The start of the run definitely involved a lot of hills which I was
00:42not particularly surprised about but the views rewarded me for my efforts. After climbing for
00:47a while I reached this lovely grass path where you could look down and see some insane colours and
00:54views which I'm sure will only get nicer in the autumn. The thing I love most about this run was
00:58the variety of nature you got to see. Obviously here I am showing the woodland and the trees you can go
01:03through. There was obviously some massive hills which I like to call mountains that I climbed
01:08and also some water views which I feel like you really can't complain about. In this video you can
01:13see me walking up. This is the summit to Windhill. I would say that this probably isn't ideal for running
01:19just because of the terrain. Annoyingly I was so caught up in the run that I forgot to get a video of the
01:23summit of Windhill but I promised the view was worth it and from there thankfully the routes
01:28started to go a bit more downhill which was very welcome respite. Here I am just going through some
01:34of the trees which really made me feel like I was part of the Twilight movie. I just finished quite a
01:40muddy bit. I would definitely say if you don't have trail shoes like me get some because I almost slipped
01:49quite a few times but I survived. I'm now finally down by the reservoir and by the bridge
01:57and I must say it is looking very empty. We all knew that already but it's always interesting to see it
02:04with your own eyes. This was one of my personal highlights of the run because I could finally see
02:09the bridge up closed that I'd been running so far away from and this was me coming up to Lady Bower
02:13Reservoir which on a normal day is a welcome sight but it was extra beautiful when I'd already run
02:18quite a way to get there. And from there I ran to Thornhill Trail which was a really cute little
02:25nature trail. Not only was the trail beautiful but I especially liked keeping an eye out for the
02:30wooden sculptures that really kept me going when my legs were hurting a bit. I've now joined back on
02:35to where I started so the end is very much in sight. After looping back onto my original path it was 20
02:42minutes till I was back at the bus stop. I've of course ended my run at the public toilets and now I've
02:48got half an hour to kill so I think I'm going to go and get a coffee. Then after all of that excitement
02:53I took the short bus home and had a very long hot shower.
