Thanks for the blog, the Uk course measuring people have safety advice for measurers here: coursemeasurement.org.uk which attempt to deal with some of the issues you refer to. oh and its Pollok not Pollock tut tut!!

Thanks for the link JRitchie. An interesting read. So often the case with these things - look at the obvious answer first and it's probably right. Beyond reasonable doubt and all that. But it is a shame. |

Think I mentioned it at the time, when the stats suggest it then usually it is so. So many PB`s and SB is a fairly clear indicator.

You could probably get a train from Milngavie to Bearsden station for Drumchapel parkrun if you want a challenging run, or to Partick station for Victoria Park if you want fast!

Did I say fast? I meant flat! Last week Viccy had 220 runners and Drumchapel only 22! Springburn is close to Milngavie as well if you are driving, but no direct buses or trains AFAIK. |

Drumchapel is the nearest - and it's a proper beast! Mind you, looking at the only race in your portfolio, it should be right up your street :-). Driving or public transport? The Glasgow five are all train accessible, with a bit of a warm up jog. 1.7km from Bearsden station to Drumchapel start. I took Stickman for a wee look aboot and someone has been through the woods, taking in the parkrun course and more, taking 360 degree views. Quite interesting and something I've not seen before. http://www.fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=1770670 |

Yeah, I actually like hills Did a loop up over the Kilpatrick hills this afternoon, so expect Drumchapel tomorrow may be very much Legs Say No, but we'll see. I'm on public transport at the mo, so Bearsden station and a warm up jog looks the way to go I should say hello while I'm here, I suppose! I'm not Scottish (ok, maybe not a great start there :p) but do have a new job starting in Glasgow in the New Year, living out in Milngavie. Going to try and get my running going again, hence scoping out the parkruns Hopefully get some Scottish races under my belt next year too.
