unexpected cleat issue

Rode the cross bike in this week. I have had the shimano boots for 6 years now and 20 yards from home was having issues clipping in.

When I spun the pedal to try the other side I found the cleat had ripped from the shoe and was stuck in the SPD’s jaws. So it was turn back or 9.5 miles of slippy spd pedal and the risk of skinned shins?

If i can ride Brecfa without  saddle, the ride in will be a breeze.  Living uncomfortably sometimes makes for a more prepared life.
