Due to the problems with parking at Penrose Hill, the National Trust have asked us to change the course until they can enlarge the car park. This won't be completed until Easter 2017 and so, from 4 June, we will be starting from the Fairground car park end of the Penrose Estate. This is opposite the boating lake, next to Flora Motors, post code TR18 0RA.
This is a temporary 5k out-and-back route, along the tarmac path, which is as good as flat compared to our course at the moment. I think everyone could be getting a PB the first time they run this!
So for approx 10 months we will be going from one of the toughest parkruns to one of the easiest.
That's a shame, I was really looking forward to having a crack at this one next month but not sure that I fancy a flat out and back course.

Yes I think that will be the plan to do Lanhydrock now instead. A nice end to our week in Cornwall before the long drive back to Sussex.

It was nice to be back to parkrun and managed to get a run at Penrose before the course change.
And a CB as well taking just 2secs off with a time of 26:44.

Which, coincidentally, is exactly the same as my time at Fareham. 20 parkrun courses... done!
