Thanks! It's a stunning place and the weather was a perfect match.

Radical Road Loop in Holyrood Park in Edinburgh: first the *up*, then a picture of the road (just up under the cliffs) from the side, finally the descent after coming off the road and turning back . First photo was taken at the end of May so the grass is a different colour.








Not running this route at the moment but *soon* will be back on it.

Hillside, that looks like a steep climb!




A snap from the car park on a trail run I did a few weeks ago in a national park south of Perth WA

That's kinda the point , 1.75miles loop with a cruel climb to start, but then the lovely grassy descent in the second half. Looking forward to being able to run it again.

Nice photo, this one & the other ones you posted before ...

Run the line Recce 14/11/2015...5 strangers from Boards/IMRA meet to hill run...:D

Carrickgollogan Hill (pictured from Barnaslingan) looking stunning in the crisp morning sun. Note the Ballychorus leadmine flue. My camera just doesn't do it justice.

Have been on a nice holiday break since the NY marathon so went out last night for my first run in over 5 weeks to be faced by this in Cork, bit too damp for my liking so had to retreat & take a different route

Posted this on my log and meant to post it here previously also. It is the Godwin Swift Mausoleum located in Castlerickard Co Meath and is the second biggest pyramid in Ireland behind the one located in Kilbride Co Wicklow. It stands 18-20 feet off the ground and is made from huge granite blocks stacked diagonally. Not my photo though but I pass it once a week while out on my long run:

Djouce on Saturday - sheet ice on the top made some bits interesting.

Ran from my house to the Loughcrew Cairns and back (8.5 miles total). Lovely day and great fun.

This thread has me looking forward to the longer evenings when I can out on the mountains and around the lakes more instead of just running around town.

Between the bit of sunshine & all the flowers, think Spring is definitely here

Indeed, spring is here

SJ, you are a cruel b*stard

That's very different from the relatively tame first race in Annagh a few years back

The very first race from what I can remember was pretty tough too, it had its own a wall, albeit not as long as last week but pretty vertical. And there was a great descent back to the finish through some felled trees, I think Enduro manage to break something at that point too.

I can confirm that the first Annagh hill race was pretty hard-core! I remember being driven to the start by a fellow runner and seeing "the wall" of the first climb for the first time, and both thinking "oh sheeeyite". The first 2 Annagh hill races were my favourite ever IMRA races. And yes, broken leg on the first one.

2011 and 2012 both went up along the same wall in the photo. There was a lot more trees to the right of the wall at the time, as well as a grassy ridge run and some thick forest along the top (alas since felled). Return was via fireroad (for the views to Lug- always obscured in the mist!) and back down the same zig-zags in the photo- there's a bright green dot in the centre of the photo above which roughly marks "Enduro Falls" (sorry Eoin!).

2013 was a short 5km race up that stone wall, out and back along the ridge, and back for the best downhill finish I've ever seen in a race. Four lads hit the gate at the top of the hill at the same time, and raced a furious downhill along the wall, all picking separate paths, with a determined Bernard just outsprinting Jason, Brian, and Adrian to the finish. 10secs separated all four by the end, very exciting to watch!

Mick's 2016 course had a new steeper killer climb on the far side of the hill too- there's always something new and unique to offer on this small but perfectly formed hill

And here's the "Then" picture of my Gandalf impression whilst trying to get down the hill with a broken leg (which I didn't realise at the time, of course), before the high speed ambulance (The podium lads) came back up to carry me off.

I thought it might have been the same climb but I wasn't sure as looking at the recent pics I couldn't fit it with my memory of how it was when the trees were there.
