Werewolf run

The combination of work and the full moon must have been getting to me as last night I went for a run in the mountains from Glenfalloch Station at the head of the Rakaia River, to Lake Heron.

Moon rise was 7.36 pm to the East

Arrowsmith range to the west


A full moon accompanied me for most of this run/walk. It became a bit cloudy around Midnight, but it cleared again from there. Every tussock looked like some unidentified animal so it is easy to see where the  imagination can run riot to conjure up all sorts of beasts and monsters. 

The run finished at 4 a.m. 50 km over 8 hours so this will help put some miles in the tank. Total of 121km past 7 days. Being too sleepy to drive back immediately, I had a snooze for a couple of hours to be woken by the sunrise shining on the Rakaia River.
