BK brighter days ahead would you say I’d get away with road shoes this time of year? I see there is a small section that can get muddy but I’m not aiming for a PB or anything and don’t mind having to slow down for that bit.

chunkywizard Broadwater has rugby pitches to run round (grass, mud) some woodland trail and tarmac path around the lake. Reasonably grippy shoes would help and you might find you lap people around the lake and need to go off path. There are loos by the start but no cafe, only a coffee van. Parking is a 10 minute amble from the start.

DV - as a former resident(Hallglen is straight up and out the top of the woods) of the area who ran much further up that hill it does amuse me that people find it so hard.

It has so much more to give :-)

Falkirk has the best part of an uphill mile to start & if you’re pushing hard HH is at a bad time tbf, but I get your point😀

In some ways that far side drag is worse as you barrel along that perfect flat to get to it.

Less steep but a long drag indeed Ally-C

Don't know if this link works, but at least the river crossing in the parkrun doesn't have to be like this from the National Cross Country last weekend!!
