Running route app??

[Cakerunner]

Hi everyone

So, I'm a bit of a dunce technology wise....and we're popping off to go camping soon...so, I'm wondering, does anybody know a way to find paths or routes suitable for running? Obviously the area we're going to in unfamiliar to me and I want to be able to get at least two runs in....absolutely no better way to start the day am I right?! I've tried a Google search for paths and walks in the area but no luck so far....if all else fails I'll ask the campsite warden....but I don't want to be worried about getting lost, if that makes sense?😁

You could use Mapometer to check out some routes, and often folk have put routes on there, for an area, which are for public viewing

Otherwise, you could do what a lot of us do... explore and.. err get lost No, only kidding!

Maybe post again or edit your original post and say where you are camping, there ma be forum friends who are nearby who could give you advice

Enjoy your holiday anyway

I walk a lot on holiday, so what I did this year was keep an eye out for good places to run while I was walking. The run was more comfortable (psychologically) because I knew where I was going having walked there previously.

You can also google ‘running in (name of place)’ but you do have to be prepared to trawl a bit if you do that as there’s a lot of info but only about a tenth of it is any help.

As Oldfloss has said Mapometer is good. Another app you may like is

plotaroute.com/routeplanner.

It can show street map, satellite map, path map and others. I like path map as it shows Ordnance Survey maps. You can also create "laps" using part of the route.

Have a lovely trip.
