Slippery paths/slopes, especially where steps (wet leaves and perhaps ice), and uneven surfaces including tree roots.

Large crags/cliffs and other rock features.

Lakes and ponds – slippery margins.

Prickly vegetation.

Branches/twigs

Moving vehicles in public car parks and access roads

Members of the public, dog walkers, and cyclists – please avoid and be courteous.

If you are running alone please make sure you inform someone of your plans
