AAARGHH indeed! Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago before a run -- in that I needed to pee somewhere where there were no loos -- and I posted about my solution :-) and was followed by a marvellous remark by Danzargo about being incontinent on the continent. I suppose Belfast could be classed as continental too...

Continental? It's about as far away from continental as you can get!

Ha Ha! At least we blokes can nip behind a nearby tree. Would that be a convenient convenience? (Or exposing one's self in public? You never know, in these days of paranoia about perverts.)

I had to nip into the bushes on my last Park run.. I made it 1.5 miles in and was bursting. I can tell you that being accused of some kind of perversion was the last thing on my mind!

I KNEW there had to be another reason why I abandoned my running in the springtime and therefore couldn't enter the Belfast half this year (well, that was my excuse) - don't think my ego would've stood up to peeing in public just yet! Hopefully they'll have it sorted out next year though, as I plan to run it then.

I hope you do - it's a tremendous achievement and very satisfying!

Are you posting stories to scare me Malcy...? I am planning on runnning with a belt on anyway, with water and food. Also my HM is only a 20 min drive from home so hopefully I won't have a problem with the call of nature before the run!

When we were away for a week in the summer I ran 4 (or was it 5?) times. By the end of the week I think I had the loos in the surrounding towns/villages well mapped out.

I know where the ones local to home are as well!

Not what you're looking for?
