| TIPS FOR A SAFE & ENJOYABLE RUN | |
| 1 | Look through all the information available before setting off. |
| 2 | You can get driving directions to the start of the route from the Route Overview page. |
| 3 | Wear running shoes suitable for the terrain and weather. Bear in mind that routes surveyed in the Summer may be more muddy at other times of the year! |
| 4 | Read our advice article on Running Safety - if you are exploring somewhere new and remote it may be an idea to run with a friend. |
| 5 | Allow plenty of time for running a new route so you can read the map carefully and enjoy the surroundings. |
| 6 | Take the Route Directions as well as the map as they may have additional information about key turnings. |
