๐ Wishing Lydia @lyds all the very best as she ventures off to travel the world. Lydia joined @BorePlace on our intern programme and stayed on to work on a wide range of projects including our brand new FIPL funded trails and milking parlour. Sheโs been a fantastic part of the Bore Place team, and we will all miss her.๐ If you are looking for something to do this weekend, come and see our cows being milked as well as the wonderful handiwork of Lydia in our milking parlour where she designed and painted our indicator species mural (whilst overseeing the project!) #internships #BorePlace #Kentdaysout #FIPL #Kentishtrails #womeninfarming
It's nearly summer yet somehow it feels like we're already nearing autumn again here in Kent this week! ๐ณ๐คฏ Last night's route from the @whitehorsechilham involved a descent amount of hills again ๐ฌ... obviously just to help us keep warm ๐ But we also made sure to use every opportunity to take in the beautiful views across the rolling hills of our stunning #kentcountryside ๐คฉ ...we love the places we get to run! ๐ . . . #canterburyrunners #canterburytrails #socialtrailruns #socialrun #uktrailchat #ukrunchat #trailrunning #trailsovertreadmills #trailsovertarmac #midweekadventure #thereisalwaysapubattheend #runningcommunity #runnersofinstagram #whereisthesun #kentishtrails #kent #exploringEastKent #exploremore #timetoplay #getoutside #outdoorsisfree #runandpub
Anyone else here fed up with the rain by now? ๐ง๏ธ We got soaked again on last week's run...from above and below ๐ We could swear we haven't had this many wet runs in the first 4 years altogether as we've had this winter!

Who would have thought our numbers could drop even further! ๐ฒ Must be the summer holidays! ...or maybe the heat? ๐ฅต๐ฌ Either way it meant only 5 of us got to enjoy the sweaty run around the hills near Farthing Common last week with stunning views all the way to Dungeness! And we must not forget to mention the Morris dancers at the pub afterwards which made for excellent entertainment ๐๐ . . . . #trailrunning #socialtrailruns #canterburyrunners #kentcountryside #kentishtrails #trailsoverroads #trailchatuk #trailsovertreadmills #getoutside #lovethemiles #exploremore #exploreyourlocaltrails #offroadrunning #socialrun #exploringEastKent #pubruns #exploringthepubsofkent #runningcommunity #runningtogether #runningbuddies
Last week's run did not follow the most exciting of routes to be fair, with lots of fields ๐พ and no woods๐ณ. But the lovely weather managed to entice a lot more runners to come out and play, which made it great fun! ๐คฉ Must be the warmer evenings! ๐ ...we're looking forward to hopefully many more of those over the summer! ๐ค . . . . . #canterburyrunners #trailrunning #trailsoverroads #trailsovertreadmills #offroadismorefun #trailfriends #exploringEastKent #eastkenttrails #exploreyourlocaltrails #runningcommunity #runningtogether #runcrew #socialtrailruns #socialruns #themorethemerrier #summerruns #natureisfree #funinthesun #trailsfordays #beautifulkent #kentcountryside #kentishtrails #uktrailchat #letsdothis #exploremore #lovethemiles #timetoplay #lovewhereyoulive #theoutdoorsawaits #somuchtoexplore
The weather was holding up pretty well last week for our run ๐...just a little drizzle towards the end, which was actually quite refreshing! And even the bluebells were still out! ๐...But this will be it now for this year! No more bluebell runs for us! ๐ฅบ Instead we'll be looking forward to warm summer evening runs through green grassy fields and possible dips in nearby streams ๐๐๐ผโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝ๐ป๐ฆ . . . . #trailsoverroads #trailrunning #socialruns #midweekadventure #canterburyrunners #exploreyourlocaltrails #trailsaregoodforthesoul #offroadismorefun #instarunners #canterburytrails #kentcountryside #exploringEastKent #runningtogether #runningcommunity #runningbuddies #summeriscoming #lastofthebluebells #exploremore #timetoplay #lovethemiles #ukrunchat #EastKentcountryside #kentishtrails
So we found some bluebells last week!

How is it already a week ago that we ran from the recently re-opened @thetylerskiln in what felt like summer weather?? Comparing it to the week before it felt like we had skipped 2 seasons!๐คฏ๐ฌ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ฑ For the next month coming, we'll be in search for some bluebells everywhere we run!

Fab run yesterday through Blean Wood from the @threehorseshoeskent, despite the STILL very muddy trails! ๐ We welcomed another new runner to the group (4th one in the last month!๐ฎ) who got to enjoy one of our hillier routes straight away....Must have seemed like an initiation for her, which she passed with flying colours ๐๐๐ ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ Anyone else out there who doesn't mind a sprinkling of hills and mud??๐ . . . . . #trailrunning #offroadismorefun #muddytrainers #runningisourtherapy #trailsoverroads #socialruns #runningtogether #runclubcanterbury #Canterburyruncrew #justforfun #runandapint #kentcountryside #exploremore #localpubs #lovewhereyoulive #Canterburyrunning #kentishtrails #ukrunchat

Two weeks ago we had promised them bluebells and we got them aplenty !๐ฑ๐๐๐ ....together with goats and lots of fun on the rope swing too!

It's 2019 already! And we've already had our first run of the new year last week with a surprisingly good turnout (considering most people were probably still in a food coma after the festive period๐)! And the numbers for this week's 'Run, wine & dine' from the George&Dragon in Fordwich are looking even better! It's either to do with people's new year's resolutions or the fact that we're having dinner again after the run!๐ค ....either way...it's amazing to see so many people are keen to go out running again in the cold and dark on muddy trails!๐ค . . . #trailrunning #socialruns #newyearsresolutions #muddytrainersclearmind #nightruns #Canterburytrails #trailrunningatnight #kentishtrails #kentcountryside #kentpubs #igrunners #instagramrunners #runnersofinstagram #runsfrompubs #comejoinus #getoutdoors #canterburyrunners
Yup, we're not afraid to get our pretty trainers dirty (we probably haven't even cleaned them yet after the last muddy run!) and tonight it's bound to get dirty after a whole day of drizzle! ๐งFeel free to join us for an easy 8k run tonight from the lovely Evenhill pub in Littlebourne at 7pm if you don't mind running whatever the weather!๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ . . . . #trailrunningatnight #kentishtrails #canterburyrunners #Canterburytrails #whatevertheweather #runninginkent #runninginthedark #runningmotivation #runningwithheadlamps
