A tram Maz?

Queen St to George Square (it started on Potter Row actually not George IV Bridge) is slightly uphill and maybe a mile? I called it a "nice warm up" in my blog. Loads of great chat with other runners streaming in from bus station and parking on that side of town too. :-) G

There’s often parking available on the streets either side of Grange Road. Its a bit further out, but gives you a nice warmup jog.

Ooh, thanks for the heads-up on Brodie Castle OC. I'll try and be first in again :)

Pity I can't make Ben Romach, but the girls have a martial arts competition in Nottingham, and they won't let me stay behind ;) I have recommended it to a few people though.
