In a quandary about tomorrow- tempted to go to Haldon Forest which would be my second time, but I'm a bit stingy and 4 quid for parking is putting me off a bit so might go somewhere else nearby. Decisions, decisions...


Hunkyteddy, have you tried Cranbrook? I have a sister in Whimple so its on my list.

Yeah, done it a couple of times.

Was also thinking of that tomorrow but a friend is going to be at Exmouth so I will be there now.

We did one recently where we had to pay for parking. I’m usually stingy too but as it was in a country park I’m hoping it went towards the upkeep and as the runs are all free I didn’t begrudge it.

Parking at Alton Water is £1 per car for parkrunners (would be £3.70 if you were just going to park up and go for a run for the same amount of time parkrun takes). Volunteers get free parking which we hope encourages a car load of runners to arrive together with a volunteer among them. A lot of locals though have season tickets for parking there anyway in which case the barrier lets them in on an ANPR system anyway.

Did the first timer briefing at Cannock. Its a first step to getting more involved after a few years self imposed avoidance.

My bookends are Torbay Velopark and Parke. But my actual fastest are Bushy, Southall and Frimley Lodge, and slowest Mole Valley and Andover, probably due to doing the latter in the winter when they were very muddy.

Andover should not be that slow but I was sinking into the mud :)

Hello- in summer in the dry (no rain for weeks) it's quick. Mostly average and occasionally totally dire :-)
