57.5 Degrees of Pain Nov 2019 6:35pm, 7 Nov 2019 4,904 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain First time I jogged around the Tollcross course, the baseball diamond didn't even register as odd (I had only come back from a decade in the US a few years before). At some point it twigged that I was in Scotland so had to jog back up and verify that I hadn't imagined it! Take care on the grass finish straight, after rain it can be like Bambi on ice.

Was thinking of Bushey, but I wondered about parking, and getting away- but Id love to do the original
chunkywizard Nov 2019 8:59pm, 7 Nov 2019 6,795 posts	0 chunkywizard Dinton Pastures, just near Reading. It’s a fabulous parkrun (but I’m a tad biased)

TeeBee Nov 2019 9:40pm, 7 Nov 2019 5,439 posts	0 TeeBee Whatever you don't park in the car park nearest the start, or try to leave the park at Hampton Court. You'll get stuck in the post run traffic for quite a while. Lots of parking on the other sides of the park. The Clapperstile Car Park has loads of free parking and is on Google maps. Just a 10-15 min jog to the start from there,. (If that)
TeeBee Nov 2019 9:41pm, 7 Nov 2019 5,440 posts	0 TeeBee ^^^ talking about Bushy, but Mole Valley lovely and more convenient, probably.
