A sunny trail run unfolds from Cedar Hill Road up through Whittaker and Harrop, with more climbing than running and plenty of pauses to soak in the views. I’m moving at a mountain trot, stepping over fallen trees, passing hikers and familiar dogs, and occasionally running out of air as the trail tilts upward. The day feels like early spring teasing its arrival—gloves come off, sunshine breaks through, and everything looks ready to wake up. Thoughts drift to future plans like the Hadrian’s Wall adventure and a new podcast, even as muddy sections and wet shoes keep things very real underfoot. The run loops back down toward Harvest Lane, ending with tired legs, a full head, and a cheerful sign-off from a bright day on the trails in BC.
