I wanted to do a different circuit, so I ran out down Perne Road, into Birdwood Road, then through Cherry Hinton Park. I carried on out along Cherry Hinton Road towards Fulbourn then cut through a hedge on the right into a field that takes you south towards Worts Causeway.
This is the point of the run really - the section through the field is quite long, and it goes up a hill (yes, really) that allows you to look down on Cambridge. The sky was big, the weather was cold, there were no people. Just what I needed to clear my head.
That section actually brings you out opposite a path that takes you round Wandlebury Ring, but that makes it a much longer run, so I skipped that today.
Coming back into the city via Worts Causeway and Mowbray Road then Perne Road was not so good (although running the causeway was pretty quiet) but it had got pretty dark and cold by then, so I figured taking the shortest route back was probably wise.
Total time was about 48 minutes.
