Silent Runner 25 Feb 2:59pm, 25 Feb 2024 1,025 posts	0 Silent Runner Didn’t make it out this morning (too much to do at home). I’m hoping to get to one next month. Hope you had a good run riggys.

Thanks i did. Cold morning took a couple of k for hands to warm up. Ended up 50 odd seconds quicker than last month.
Silent Runner 25 Mar 7:22pm, 25 Mar 2024 1,029 posts	0 Silent Runner Went to Stourhead yesterday. It's a tough one, with a long hard climb up to the midway point and another one just before the finish. I was fourth or fifth for most of the run; thought I had the other guy beat but he outsprinted me right at the end. Had a long walk round the lake and a look round the house afterwards. A good day out.
FML 24 Apr 8:43pm, 24 Apr 2024 11,249 posts	0 FML Planning on doing Clumber park on Sunday. Noticed on website 'The Trust 10 is becoming very popular and you may experience a delay getting into the park due to the volume of traffic. We would suggest giving yourself extra time so you are here for a prompt start at 9am' Anyone any experience of this? What is the best time to arrive to ensure plenty of time to park and get to start... Thanks

Sombrero 24 Apr 9:31pm, 24 Apr 2024 14,071 posts	0 Sombrero Hi FML, we tend to aim to get to Clumber park itself around 8.30 so we have time to get parked up and wander to the start and have a little warm up. I won't be there as we're doing a local 10K at Dronfield, but the course at Clumber is lovely.

I won't be there as we're doing a local 10K at Dronfield, but the course at Clumber is lovely. I would agree with this. I find it’s getting busy as we are leaving. The car park is 5-10 minutes walk from the start. The toilets are just behind the start (you know what us runners are like) Lovely 2 lap course bit of a steady climb after a couple of k and then a nice downhill through the woods. Sometimes a bit of congestion on the bridge if the road blocks are in place. Free to get in if you’re not a member if you say you are there for the Trust 10k. I stupidly agreed to do a long day shift on Sunday so won’t be there.
