Watch what you say around here Percy, the ED might be watching  I say if people are going to make to make Dinton Pastures their home run then come and run the inaugural, no issue. If you are local and want to try a different venue, maybe wait a couple of weeks. If you are coming from afar then let us bed-in and the numbers settle before you come visit.
By the way, it's a third event for Wokingham, Reading only has one event...

iRicey, it is. Reading have said they will cancel in the winter if the conditions get bad and advise runners to go to other events such as Prospect, Woodley, Dinton, Bracknell, Henley etc.

Dinton looks like it could be doable from Winnersh train station CW? We wont come to event 1, but have done some of the local ones. The drive is often subject to large amounts of traffic coming back towards us though so the train option is useful

Hi Curly,
yes, very accessible from Winnersh. Its 2Km from the station to the start line. Just come out of the station, turn left, keep going over the motorway bridge and the car park entrance is on the left.

CW: is it the same course the same as Ellie's events? As I ran round there the other night I just kept thinking - this would make a great parkrun course / venue.

Nope, it's different from Barnes Fitness and the winter Reading course. 2 (mainly different) laps on the west of the park.

OK, I'll have to look at the conquercise map to see if it's worth a trip then!

Sorry I am confused as Reading already has 3 x parkruns being Reading, Woodley and Prospect
Dinton is where "Reading" relocate to during bad weather....
