 I use hi viz clothing to keep my self safe , I have additional safety equipment,  i have a back up light plus spare batteries,  please be careful the route was mostly in the mist ,foggy and rain ! I ran in heavy weight kit tonight because i was going to spend time going through the mud and I am not used to the hills so it was going to take longer to run this , we did around 5 miles  in just over a hour !
