This week our Monday night run is a bit different - we are off to Weetslade to check out the relay course. This is a chance for new members to get to know the course and for everybody else to look out for changes and marshal points.

Here we go to Paradise – shame they paved it and put up a parking lot, though we do get some nice views of the Tyne Valley. With the shorter version, in the words of Billy Fury, you are taken “Halfway to Paradise”. The full route is approximately 6.6M (10.6K) and the shorter version is …
See the sights of the toon at Christmas - Bigg Market, Cathedral, Dog Leap Stairs and Northumberland Street - with a few Baltic Miles smashed in for good measure. Reads Janet's attached doc for full route as not plotted. 4.4 miles for one Baltic Mile - faster groups should do 2 or 3 BMs
This route has summer and winter variants. The summer version goes through nice off road paths between fields and the golf course. The summer route is approximately 7.3M (11.8K); in winter it is a bit longer at 7.4M (12K), with the short version at 5.2M (8.4K)
Up Claremont Road and across the paths to Cowgate. Then a bit of a climb to Kenton Bar, before a downhill stretch through Kenton and around the edge of the Town Moor. The full route is approximately 6.8M (11K) and the shorter version is approx. 3.6M (5.8K).
