Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think I have only done a course with steps at Wycombe Rye, wooden steps with awkward sizes.

Cross Flatts 'had' steps, but they resurfaced a path that bypasses them, and the parkrun route avoids them now..

Woolacombe has a travellator - or at least, it feels like it does :-)

Thanks Spiders. I thought I was going mad as I didn't remember steps at Cross Flats when I did it!

Watergrove also has a travellator, easy going down, tough coming back up!

Not sure the big puddle at Milton counts as a puddle of doom (no more than 50cm deep at its worst) but it does sometimes have its own puddle marshal, directing runners to go through the puddle, and not slow down for it or try to go round the edge. It's on a fairly congested stretch and someone stopping to avoid could lead to hundreds of people behind crashing into each other, keystone cops style.
