I really liked Eden Project - also helped for getting the family in for free.

But I didn’t really consider the hills… they shouldn’t have surprised me but they did 😆

I’ve done Eden a few times and although there are some sharp ups, the downs are really good and I think it’s actually quite fast.

And yes - I can’t go through the Eden gift shop without spending, I think they realise they will make a load letting parkrunners and families in for free

I finished the run and we all went for breakfast. If I’d have come straight from the hotel, we’d have had breakfast elsewhere.

Same with the rest of the day - I knew I’d saved on admission so was happy to spend inside.

If you ever go to see a gig down there at Eden Sessions, the biomes are open before the gig starts, which can be a nice time to see everything as well. I’ve not done it but I believe Eden Project Marathon also includes entry.

Yes, the times we’ve done the parkrun we’ve also had breakfast and spent on other things. But even so, it is still a very big saving as 2 adults and 2 kids is £99. I think it’s amazing that Eden Project allow the parkrun in there.

That’s looks a great one to do HG we’ve yet to do one in Scotland.
How to pick one will be the dilemma.

You know it's proper "exotic" when the map is all in foreign (Gaidhlig = Scottish Gaelic) eh Loobs? :-) G

I went to Rugby. Since I last attended they have laid stone on the hill path and its now more doable for me although I had to walk it on the second lap sadly. It will be much better in the winter now. I will probably start frequenting this more (we are frequent visitors to our offspring and their offspring)
