    Hi, I am looking to start running. I like places like the lough to run where there is water. I'm odd that way :).

    Head out the old Blarney road, up the hill by the back of the shopping centre/Aldi, out under the rail bridge, and loop back in by North Point and Commons Road. Nice, safe etc.

    This sounds perfect, thanks. Haven't been to that Aldi's yet. Is there anyway you can draw this route on google maps for me.

    I mean Aldi, the one in the retail park. Road at the back of it, up the hill, left, out beyond Planet Gym, you can turn down there for a short run - or continue out, under rail bridge, left, down towards North Point and then in Commons Road to Dinos and home.

    I can map it tomorrow if needs but not now.

    scribblemaps.com is awesome. It lets you draw on google maps. Here's two routes I came up with so far.
    The big red dot is what I came up with for the house/starting point.
