Dvorak Apr 2013 1:05pm, 1 Apr 2013 6,571 posts	0 Dvorak Bumping this in case it goes in the great thread cull . Though don't rush to Falkirk just at the moment, groundwork on the paths is taking longer than it was meant to, so rather than restarting this week, it looks like being at least a couple of weeks more. It does mean than Falkirk runners visiting other runs though. Try Eglinton (near Irvine), it is possibly the most "Falkirk-like" of the other Scottish runs. But flatter. (I may be overstatiing "great thread cull". But there have been some post syphonings.)

Dvorak Apr 2013 1:32pm, 1 Apr 2013 6,572 posts	0 Dvorak Three events so far at Eglinton, attendances of 118, 42, 96. But the second week was rubbish weather. I was at the first one and I did have my worries as I drove through the snow on my way down :-o. But conditions were fine on arrival. Don't take any shoes you want to keep clean there. Although it might seem far (being "beyond Glesca") it only me took an hour to get there. On the way back, you could pop into Pollok Park and do a freedom run there :-).
