LorraineS Dec 2022 1:51pm, 16 Dec 2022 34,904 posts	0 LorraineS Oh wow, that'll be a blast from the past if it's the one that opened in 1991? I remember the TU, temporary union when I first started, then we got the new union. Saw a few bands there, and saw Jo Brand do stand up. It's a new one. What is interesting is seeing how they've added the Oriam centre on to the old sports centre. The walled garden is still there and is where the parkrun starts - it's no longer a car park.

LorraineS Dec 2022 3:26pm, 16 Dec 2022 34,905 posts	0 LorraineS Narrow portal? There's a narrow archway on the way back but not on the way out. The ED's checking the course early tomorrow mrs shanksi - somewhere around 6.30 - 7.00 - as this afternoon there is black ice

Just dug my car out and considering Dundee was down there an hour ago, think the same problem as last saturday will likely put paid. I nearly went arse over tit several times in the space of half a km just walking. dreading even a post-gig 100m walk home around midnight
Dvorak Dec 2022 4:57pm, 16 Dec 2022 26,307 posts	0 Dvorak Iirc at Oriam the course started in the walled garden and took a sharp right on exit. Maybe it has changed? Looking at the info, I see that the car park has changed so that it's not such a hike to the start (or drive the length of the campus.)
