Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think I'd be shot if I tried to run in the school grounds (there are numerous smaller posh schools with big grounds also). It's still private land, after all, isn't it?

Looks like some public paths through/alongside anyway. And the head quidditch-master or wevs has probably toddled off to his countryside retreat.

No, if they shoot you, you will definitely have a case. They might be allowed to set the dogs on you, though.

In a former work life I used to run by the playing fields of Eton. That was after I had supped up my beer and collected my fags*, of course.

My local golf course is a public park anyway so it's always busy with dog walkers. I keep seeing groups of cyclists perched on mounds all over the place there lately, always male and varying ages.

It’s worth checking out, Linds. Dulwich College, which is also pretty hi falutin’ and proper posh, has opened up its playing fields to the locals for exercise purposes.

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
