My current NENDY is Cefn Coed Pwll Du (Near Caerphilly). I've tried to get there several times but something always prevents me. I may have another try this Saturday. Has anyone been?

My NENDY is Perry Hall, 3 miles from Sutton Park. It will remain my NENDY :-)

My NENDY used to be Abingdon, but became Horsepath when that opened last year, and is now University Parks which started a few weeks ago.

Why’s that FreshStart? I’ve done Walsall and Sutton when visiting family and was thinking of that one next.

“Kevin” is enjoyable. Hilly but enjoyable. Quite a walk from the carpark to the start line (all uphill) but a small field so a good finish placing is yours for the taking!

Has anyone run Isabel Trail parkrun in Stafford? I hope to be there on Saturday. The description suggests road shoes should be fine but I thought I would check here, and ask if there is anything else about the course etc I should know before I arrive?

Hilly Fields is my NENDY, and has been for quite some time - mostly because the name is made entirely of things that I don't like running on!
I do intend to do it, not least because sallykate is one of the RDs. Probably have to wait until after the Greenwich Foot Tunnel lifts are back in service though (as I'm no longer physically capable of carrying my bike up steps)

WayOfTheDodo - road shoes are fine for Isabel Trail - out and back on old railway track. Parking and coffee very close. I started near back which was fine for me but track is relatively thin, so if you wanted a faster time then you might need to get there earlier to start further forward

Harrow is my NENDY but I'm saving that one, in case I ever have transport problems getting to a London parkrun
