Just before the skew bridge on the Lower road - https://goo.gl/maps/pxJzGXXKq8x

Thanks. Never knew it existed.

Found a doozy of a hill. Peaks at 33% in one spot but averages 27%

I’m looking at the picture trying to figure out where it is? How do you access it?

That’s it. Never knew about it before. I was driving past on the way to work the day after it was posted here but seemed to be closed - it was 8am and that was the entrance near the skewbridge. Had considered running to there as part of my run that morning so glad I didn’t as my time was limited as it was.

I still don't know how to post a pic other than a pic with link so I will say that I also run near the sea

So here's another Cork city park for your enjoyment



Hopefully will soon be home to a parkrun

That looks interesting. Is that the one in the Glen? What’s the route like?

Bray head fires added a nice haze effect a week or two back...

Yup, it's a compact enough place so looks like the route will be one small loop followed by two larger ones (with an out/back part).

Which reminds me I never emailed you about that. Sorry.
So around the ponds for one loop, and then two loops including the out and back bit to the bottom of the short hill? Where's the start/finish? On the path just down from the pitch?

Slievenamon, Co Tipp yesterday

I used to regularly run the 12-16mile circuit around the mountain but not done it in ages, yesterday was my return to trail running......I forgot how hard it is compared to road! :pac:

The event team are working on it at the moment, one of them measured out the route with a wheel over the Aug weekend. It's a tight squeeze to get the 5k in there.

Just waiting for parking permission for a few places & then should be in a position to figure out a start date. I'll PM you the contact for the ED if you want to get in touch with them.

Few pics from the Waterford greenway, it's a route I've been meaning to get to for ages & last Sunday was the day.

I was recently camping in Casey's down at Clonea and it was lovely to get up early and do the 10mile route (total) out and back from the Caravan park to the Durrow Tunnel. Don't see too many people at 7am on the greenway

I took an early morning run along Portmarnock, Baldoyle & Sutton this morning, it was glorious.

Sun rise from Portmarnock beach at 08:00 this morning.

I had a lovely 5k run with my dog (best buddy) Richo on Portmarnock beach (The Velvet Strand) and caught the sun rise between Howth Head and Ireland's Eye



It was -1c and cloudy at first but when the sun broke properly it was beautiful (but still freezing)

7km on Portmarnock beach this afternoon and came across this little fella, he was still moving and the tide was coming in so hopefully he's swimming happily this evening



It was a beautiful 13c but a strong cross wind kept the pace slow but it was very enjoyable.

Got in a run around the Imperial palace in Tokyo last weekend, loads of people circling the place. Too bad I missed on parkrun as I hear it's kicking off in Japan in April.

One of the quieter routes in Cork city. I did meet one person walking their dog later on but that was it 'til I got back on a road.

There was a lot of Starfish on Portmarnock beach this morning.

Stuck the camera down in the grass the other morning in Corkagh Park to film my hill sprints for analysing. Got a couple of nice stills...

Lovely morning run from Portrane to Donabate and back from a couple of weeks ago.

There was this strange bright thing shining on me today

What's the story with that path? It was closed for a good while and I know you could get around the barriers, but is it open again officially?

Yeah it's completely open now. No barriers. Hadn't been up in a while so not sure how long that's the case.

Snuck in through the hole in the fence earlier for a look at Tramore Valley park in Cork, not the only one doing that either

Start of the 5k loop, finish is the sign just down the road a bit.



It's officially opening later on this month btw.

Just a quick jog on this - first person ever to run here, by the looks of it...
