Florence is great Bazo - they have moved the start recently so make sure you check before you go in case it needs to move again.

If you let them know you are coming they will do the relevant bits in English on course description etc. Very mixed attendance, tourists, locals and expats. They also do a pre-event photo - dont miss it warming up like I did ;)

Both are nice, Baz. I prefer Burgess as it's less laps.

I prefer Burgess to Southwark. Southwark is my least favourite course I have done in London. Toilets dont open until AFTER the start!

Burgess is an old canal and really interesting park, good facilities, and really well run.

I really like Burgess Park - done it a few times whilst in London. I've always found them to be a very friendly welcoming bunch too. Don't panic if you rock up at 08:40 and there's no one there - they do arrive quite late for set up.

Has anyone done Lymington? We're going to be inbetween Brockenhurst and Lymington for the Easter weekend and can't decide which to do.

If they are still using their winter course do Brockenhurst

Toilets were open well before the start @ Southwark a couple of weeks ago. Thought the park was pleasant enough. Over 3 1/2 laps though.

When I ran Southwark there were toilets between station and park in a sports/leisure centre.
