Surrey Hill is brutal - not for the faint hearted!! The rest of this route is wonderful. Swinley Forest is my happy place :D

No roads to cross. A steady climb on the way out, but rewarded with a steady descent on the way home, allowing you to really push the distance and build confidence without accumulating as much fatigue as you might on an undulating route!

My favourite Sunday long run for Half Marathon training. Similar total elevation to the Great North Run, with a slight downhill bias on the way out, and an uphill bias on the return journey to keep you working right up to the end! Very few roads to cross, and lovely scenery, especially down by the river.
