Is anyone still keen to do this on Thursday?


Would Dulwich park be the preferred meeting point or would meeting by Goose Green or Peckham rye be easier?


It would be good to get an idea of what kind of distance people might want to do and I can sketch out a potential route?

This website may be of use to you Mrs G www.mapometer.com you may already know about it though. If the park is closed at that time you can run from the court lane gate down to the village, left into the village, throught the village, left onto the south circular, left onto lordship lane, left back down court lane back to where you started. That route is just over 2 miles and may be a good first session while you all get to know each other's paces etc. As long as you just turn lft no one can get lost. Hope this helps - sorry I can't help interfering!


Have a good run!

I run, and am reluctant to go out alone in the evenings now that it's dark. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how you do in terms of pace/distance (I can't generally do Tues or Thurs but occasionally have those evenings free). I can comfortably do 4 - 6 miles at 9:30/10 min mile pace.


Alternatively, I sometimes run with my baby in the buggy (meaning boring laps of Dulwich Park!) immediately after school drop off in the mornings. I did 3 laps this morning, so let me know if anyone fancies joining me (my pace is slower with the buggy).

Sounds good to me.


I can do this Thurs and both days next week hopefully.


I've just signed up for a 9 mile run with my colleagues so need to get training!


Could I suggest meeting by Goose Green, maybe outside Jojo Maman Bebe? So that those of us from all corners of ED don't have too far to come from?

Pickle, I fear the dark nights closing in too!


I'm training for a 1/2 M and during the week I do medium speed run (prob about 10 mins mile pace) and/or hill session and/or sprints - let me know if you fancy meeting up one night. I normally run on a Mon (to nursery for pickup) and Wed/Thur nights.

Glad it's just not me Mrs Glennie! Nursery staff are starting to get used to my alarmingly red and sweaty face. My top tip is to leave bottle of water and warm layer in the pram at nursery, so you don't seize and dehydrate too much once you've done pickup.

    • Another recommendation for Niko - fitted me in the next day, simple fix rather than trying to upsell and a nice guy as well. Will use again
    • Looks great! but could it be possible to pinch the frames a bit tighter with some long nose pliers and add more struts to stop the tree rats getting inside? Also, the only issue with a mesh base is that it could attract rats towards your property.
    • I struggled with the parakeets literally decimating the bird feeders within an hour.  I tried squirrel proof ones to see if they helped, but they jammed their claws in the mechanism to stop it closing.  Then the pigeons managed to do the same.  I spent a long time researching the best ideas and came across something on Pinterest.  Someone had used a metal dog cage and attached it to a wooden platform.  So that's what I did!  Once set up, you just hang the feeders inside.  Large birds like pigeons and parakeets cannot get inside.  I get all the small birds, plus starlings.  Not many thrushes or blackbirds around, so have no idea if they could get in.  The squirrels do!  It's amazing watching them slide through narrow gaps.  I also covered the roof of the cage with a piece of plastic to keep the rain off, plus I am just about to replace the cage plastic base with something more mesh like.  It can get a bit gooey after a while, so with mesh, all the dropped seed from the messy goldfinches, will go on to the ground where the pigeons can clear up.  I even added a birdcam.  
    • Yep, of course I do - did you not read the bit from the survey about the noise having a negative impact on foraging bats? And like @Angelina I'm aware it affects other people, and if no one complains then it gives them an argument that's it's all ok.  The tree in question was a cherry that everyone loves, didn't need to be touched, and the council admitted was a mistake and shouldn't have happened.  The council and Gala use the 'local' narrative as a benefit, without any figures to back it up. It is used as an argument for the event to go ahead, when there's no basis of fact. The attendees are clearly not local as they've proved they don't give a **** about the area. The council do tell us where the money is spent - 100% on running the Events dept, and a myriad of unlisted free events. They just don't tell us how much, so that we can make an informed decision on whether the gain is with the pain.  Sorry, what was your point again?
