I love travelling around and trying different parkruns and I’m now well on my way to completing the alphabet challenge: 22 letters (out of a possible 25) at 63 locations. As a member of the Vegan Runners club (the largest currently in the UK at parkrun), I often try to attend meetups and enjoy going for a vegan breakfast afterwards.

Last updated: 23/04/2024

A – Alice Holt: Starting near the country park’s café (which sells a great range of vegan options for brunch after the run), Alice Holt parkrun consists of some loops along woodland trails. The course description makes it sound a lot more complicated than it actually is once you get going. It also includes Dragon Hill (which drags on and on…), a toughie, but certainly not the worst hill I’ve encountered on parkruns. This is a lovely event and a wonderful place to spend the rest of the day. Parking isn’t particularly cheap if you stay for a few hours, but it’s definitely worth it.

Andover: A simple, flat, two-lap course. The route, run in an anti-clockwise direction, is quite scenic as it goes round a pond at one point. As it’s a mixture of grass and paths, trail shoes are a must if the weather has been wet as it can get quite muddy and slippery. I visited with other Vegan Runners as it was a meetup. For breakfast afterwards we headed to the large Feathers Restaurant at the Hawk Conservancy. The vegan muffin was superb and the breakfast perfectly edible (sausages could have been less rubbery though).

B – Bartley Park: Unfortunately, due to previous heavy rainfall, I ran the D course (see above), which is probably not quite as scenic, although it’s four laps regardless of the route. As it’s a mixed-terrain parkrun and parts can have puddles and slippery mud, trail shoes are recommended.

Beckenham Place: What a beautiful park this is! And a one-lap course with such a small overlap is an added benefit. The parkrun starts next to Mansion House, just up from the car park, affording a stunning view. The route soon starts to gently climb, and although there are downhill sections, they seem quite short. The finish, which isn’t far from the start, comes after going round a largish field and the short repeated section to get to it. I found the small slope to the line relatively tough to negotiate after 5 km on a humid day, but then I never do well with an uphill finish. I wore trail shoes, even though the grass areas were rock hard after little-to-no rain, but didn’t regret that choice because of some gravelly downhill parts that could have proved slippy underfoot.

Bethlem Royal Hospital: The only parkrun in the UK at a working NHS hospital. As it’s a large site and the briefing area location is not immediately obvious, you can either wait in the visitors’ car park to be led over by a volunteer or follow other parkrunners (there aren’t too many at this event) and the helpful yellow signs. After the run director’s spiel, we were led along a path through the trees (also where the finish funnel is) to the start. It’s then a two-lapper, all on mown grass, of two adjoining fields. I wore trail shoes as it was raining quite hard on the day and I didn’t want to risk any sliding or slipping.

Blandford: The course takes you along part of the North Dorset Trailway. It’s an out-and-back parkrun with some great countryside views just before and after the turning point. On the way back, there’s a bit of a slope to content with, but essentially, the route is quite straight and flat, so good for PBs. I got my best time since before the pandemic here. The facilities are not as good as at most other parkruns I’ve been to. As there are no toilets, I recommend stopping somewhere on the way before you arrive if you’re coming from a distance. I parked in Milldown Road before turning into Jubilee Way, which was a good decision as all the spaces had already been taken as far as I could see.

Bolton: This parkrun takes place in the delightful Leverhulme Park, but includes some climbing, including twice up Cruella de Hill. I had to give up any attempt to run up Cruella when I was passed on it by two leisurely walking ladies. Definitely a toughie for me.

Bournemouth: My nearest event, which I can walk to, making it an environmentally friendly option. It’s not the most interesting parkrun as you have to do three laps of one field and two of another in Kings Park, but the people are friendly, it’s usually busy and relatively flat. There are a couple of parts of the course that can be quite slippy if it’s been raining, so you might want to consider trail shoes if, like me, you want to ensure you stay upright. Facilities include parking spaces, toilets and also a café (which I’ve never been to). For more interesting vegan breakfast options, head to nearby Cafe Boscanova in Boscombe.

Brockenhurst: Rather unusually, Brockenhurst is run at two different locations depending on the season. In winter (until the end of March), it takes place at Wilverley Inclosure on New Forest trails. And in summer (until around the end of September), it shifts to the playing fields of Brockenhurst college (four laps). The winter course is one clockwise lap incorporating a couple of toughish hills (I’ve got to the stage where I just walk up them now to save my knees). Although the event is run entirely on a compact trail path, the surrounding area is generally muddy and slippery when wet, so trail shoes were my preferred option.

Brockwell: Brockwell Park is right next to Herne Hill rail station, and the parkrun start is just a short walk away, after passing the Lido. That makes it a good choice for a wet, miserable day as you’re not so exposed to the elements on the way to the start line. The course itself is two anticlockwise loops of the park, with a steady incline beginning within the first kilometre. The second loop is slightly shorter and ends back at the start after the downhill and flat section.

Bromley: Set in Norman Park, the winter course is two-and-a-half clockwise laps on tarmac around some football pitches. There were quite a lot of people there when I went, so positioning yourself correctly at the start helps to keep things moving and could get you a PB as it’s flat. I don’t think Bromley would ever become a favourite, but I might go back to try the summer course, which switches to a 52% grass content.

Burgess: Such a lovely parkrun, especially in the spring with all the blossom. It’s also a one-lapper, which is always a huge bonus. As it’s quite central, it’s also popular and, therefore, busy. Still, the paths are wide and cope well with the volume of runners, so getting a good time here might be on the cards since the course is flat. And the Clubhouse Café right near the start/finish serves amazing vegan pastries and coffees. So, all in all, I thoroughly recommend this parkrun and hope to be back soon.

C – Cardiff: This extremely popular event goes along the Taff Trail in Bute Park, which is just behind Cardiff Castle in the city centre. It’s a flat course (so good for PBs) with an out-and-back section of around 2K that ends in about a 1K loop.

Catford: A friendly parkrun located at Mountsfield Park with amazing views of the surrounding area from the top near the bandstand where the route begins. That should tell you that it’s not flat! The clockwise, mixed-terrain route gradually winds its way down to the bottom, mostly on grass and trail, before it takes you up the hill to almost where you started. Here, veer left to complete the small tarmac loop. Repeat twice more until you get to the top of the hill for the third time, now instead turning right (and, therefore missing out the short loop) to the funnel for a slightly upslope finish.

Colchester Castle: Although this event in Castle Park is a bit hilly, you get to run past the castle a couple of times and along the river path, so a scenic parkrun. Do try to find time to visit the castle afterwards as it’s well worth it.

Coldham’s Common: The course takes you twice around two adjoining fields and is entirely on grass. Consequently, it can get quite muddy and slippery in places after rainfall. For me, as the conditions were wet, trail shoes were a must. I walked from Cambridge station and it took me about half and hour.

Crystal Palace: This is essentially a two-lapper course that misses out a small section on the second lap (see photo above). The incline starts almost immediately and doesn’t end until after the small loop, which gives some flatish respite on the first lap. Then it’s all downhill until you get near Penge Gate. Even though the course is quite tough, the park is great to run around and the café located near the start and finish serves vegan cake.

D – Delamere: Even though the weather was a bit miserable when I did this parkrun, Delamere Forest is still a wonderful spot. For 1k, the route takes you to a lake, which you then run around in a clockwise direction for 3k, before retracing your steps back to the start. Despite being a bit muddy under foot when we visited, road shoes were perfectly adequate as the paths are all firm. The vegan breakfast in the new onsite café was extremely tasty. Parking is a bit pricey, but there’s lots of it.

Dulwich: I’m not super keen on lots of laps, and Dulwich contains three, but this is a scenic place to run with a wide tarmac path, so lots of room for overtaking. It’s another course known for its potential to get you a PB, but as I did it on New Year’s Day after an evening with friends, I was happy just to get round it without any walking. I hope to revisit this event in future and try for a much better time.

Durlston Country Park: Do parkruns get any tougher than this one? I hope not, because I found this one a real challenge. The views would have been spectacular if the weather hadn’t been so foul (lashing with rain). If I hadn’t been attending a Vegan Runners New Year’s Eve meetup, I’d definitely have saved this one for another day. The route comprises two loops, which you run twice, and an out-and-back section. And they all contain quite steep hills, so five in total. I was incapable of running up any of them (will definitely have to programme in some more hill reps) and felt completely worn out by the time it came to the fifth and last hill (which, if I heard right, is said to be the parkrun slope with the steepest gradient). The castle where you start and finish and run past several times has a cute café serving vegan breakfasts and other fare. This brutiful parkrun is certainly worth a visit!

E – Eastleigh: Knowing that this can be a tough course, especially in wet weather when it can become a mud bath, I opted for a coolish summer day to get my first “E”. I still wore trail shoes, though, as the route is all on grass and, as it had been raining a little, I didn’t want to take any chances. Eastleigh is a three lapper, which means you get lots of stabs at running up that hill.

F – Fareham: I went here for a Vegan Runners meetup. It’s an out-and-back course on quite a narrow path, so although it’s quite flat, congestion could stop you from running at your pace and getting a good time. It had been raining when I visited, resulting in loads of puddles that were impossible to avoid, so bring a spare pair of shoes to change into if it’s wet. Not one of my favourite courses, TBH.

Folkestone: This is a fantastic parkrun run along the cliff top. The course is two loops, which just gives you more time to soak up the views. It was easy to park quite close by and there are toilet facilities. I visited for another Vegan Runners meetup and we all had breakfast in Dr Legumes in a great spot by the harbour. Afterwards we strolled around Folkestone and had a great day out. Hopefully, I’ll be back!

G – Ganger Farm: This is a relatively new addition to the parkrun family, taking place around a couple of fields in Romsey. The course is three times around the small field and two and a bit times around the bigger one, starting around the small field and ending along the first longer side of the second. Although it’s not the most exciting parkrun out there, it’s quite flat and it was also great to get a localish “G”. Trail shoes are probably best for this parkrun when it’s wet. For food afterwards, we headed to Lemon and Jinja for vegan coffee and cake. The shop also stocks great products and is refill heaven. Take come empty containers with you, although they do sell some in the shop.

Great Lines: On a nice day, you can get some good views once you reach the top of the hill next to Chatham Naval Memorial. And as you have to go round the course twice, you get the benefit of seeing the vista again. A fair amount of this course is on grass, including a downhill section, so you might want to wear trail shoes if it’s wet.

H – Havant: The course starts and finishes in front of the Tea Rooms at the Coach House (where you can go for a post-run coffee; vegan options are available) in Staunton Country Park. The postcode for the car park is PO9 6BG. The route consists of one small loop and one larger loop. You do one and a half of the small loop before running down a steep hill marking the start of the second larger loop, then along the trail where it can get quite muddy and slippery, before starting the long ascent back to the top (the hill that keeps on giving). You then pass the start again going round the small loop before repeating the large loop and then sprinting (if you have any energy left!) to the finish. This is a scenic parkrun that is well worth ticking off your list.

Highbury Fields: As London is so vast, it’s not always easy to get to the nearest parkrun, despite there being so many to choose from. This event was my nearest when I was visiting London one December. It’s easy to get to as the start is a short walk from Highbury & Islington tube station. However, the park is small and so you have to go round it five times! Sorry to say that there are obviously much nicer parkruns out there.

Hogmoor Inclosure: Another Vegan Runners meetup took me to this parkrun. It’s twice round the park, which can get very muddy and wet when it rains. See photo for the size of the largest puddle! We had to be guided through it by the kind marshals in their wellies as otherwise we might have fallen into quite deep water. If you don’t fancy that, there is a drier detour around it.

Hove Promenade: This is another seafront parkrun (I seem to have done so many). The start and finish are in the middle of the course next to Hove Lawns and you have to go round twice, running in the direction of Hove first before turning towards Brighton and then coming back on yourself. Unfortunately, the loos next to the start weren’t open when we went, so I recommend going on route if you can, otherwise it could be a long run to the nearest open ones. As we visited for a Vegan Runners meetup, we descended on T @ Hove for breakfast (highly recommend this café as they serve a range of vegan options) and No Catch for lunch (unbelievably tasty tofish, calamari and tempura prawns).

I – Itchen Valley Country: A great, one-lap course on forest trails. Make sure you arrive in plenty of time to park and process the payment; I was still trying to get the app to work during the first few metres of the run.

J –

K –

L – Lee-on-the-Solent: This is a classic parkrun along the seafront, so it can get quite blowy. Essentially, the course is two out-and-backs from the start and mostly flat except for a slight incline (which you do twice). A shingle section (also run twice) in the second out-and-back might also slow you down a bit.

Lymington Woodside: Although this is not the most exciting of parkruns, 45 Vegan Runners gathered to run this course to support a fellow club mate suffering from motor neurone disease. You can read more about his journey since diagnosis on his blog MND can get in the sea. The route is essentially three laps of the playing fields and two of the gardens, with the garden circuit incorporated on the second and third laps. Afterwards, we all descended on the amazing vegan cafe The Tinker’s Granddaughter. Fantastic food that I cannot recommend highly enough. I’ll be back!

M – Maidstone: A picturesque course alongside the River Medway. The path is quite narrow in places, though, so it can get a bit congested. Watch out for the bridge, which you have to cross twice; with so many runners thundering across it, it can get a bit wobbly and put you out of sorts. Plenty of parking and toilet facilities.

Milton Country: Another gorgeous parkrun (I do love events in country parks). Starting close to the car park, the course takes you clockwise round the small woodland loop first before leading onto the two main laps around the lakes (which include the smaller loop at the end). As I ran this one in January, it was quite muddy, and I definitely needed my trail shoes.

Moors Valley: This used to be my home parkrun (despite not being the closest) and the one I’ve run and volunteered at the most. Moors Valley is a lovely country park, and the one-lap route (there’s just an extremely short out-and-back section after 3k) ends up at a lake. All very scenic. Although there’s a bit of congestion at the start, there are markers telling you where to stand based on the time you expect to do. The paths soon become wider and so this is a good course for PBs, even though it’s not entirely flat. The café serves vegan coffee and food and parking is cheap (currently £1.50) if you leave before 10.45 a.m.

Mote Park: I have both run the course and taken part in a Vegan Runners volunteer takeover day, which was great fun. Unfortunately, the place where we all headed for breakfast afterwards, The Rainbow Skull, has now closed down. A great pity as the food was fantastic. The course, in a large park, goes past a lake and Mote House (which you run past four times). There’s a point called The Rock, marked with a photo of Dwayne Johnson, which roughly represents every kilometre you run, as you also go past it four times. Well worth a visit.

N – Netley Abbey: This takes place in the Royal Victoria Country Park. I’ve only done the winter version of this three-lap course, which, besides the hill up to Bluebell Wood, takes you down to the waterfront and up another slope towards the chapel. So, it’s a six sloper in total, quite a toughie for someone like me who needs to practise more hill repeats! On a clear, sunny day, the run affords some good views of Southampton Water. In icy conditions, it can be a bit slippy in places, although road shoes should be fine for most of the course. There are loads of parking spaces, toilets and a café. The latter was a bit disappointing as the vegan options were not very tasty or good value for money.

Newbury: This parkrun at the iconic location of Greenham Common proved a fitting way to celebrate my 50th different event. It’s also only one lap, which can be quite a rarity on the parkrun circuit. Although the surface is hard, it had been raining a fair amount and oodles of puddles had accumulated, making it quite a wet ride, especially as the volunteers were holding up signs telling you to stick to the path. Presumably, this was to prevent erosion of the soil by going round the puddles. In hindsight, I should have opted for my waterproof trail shoes. Afterwards, we headed to the Control Tower cafe for a coffee (oat and soya milk available) and a bite to eat (vegan sausage rolls, pasties and cake).

O – Orpington: Unfortunately, I chose a rotten day to go get my “O”, so although Goddington Park is no doubt a pleasant spot, it was hard to appreciate it through the rain. Given the stormy conditions, there weren’t too many people lining up at the start and the vast majority was well out of my league, so I soon got left behind. It was one time I was grateful for the course being a two-lapper (and a bit) as at least I got some company when the faster runners whizzed by me. The route sounds confusing, but coloured cones and helpful marshals show you where to go. The second lap is not quite a repeat of the first as it sends you off around a completely new field near the beginning. I wore trail shoes as most of this parkrun is on grass and the transitions between one field and another and can get quite muddy and slippy when the weather’s wet. I walked from Orpington train station (took me about half an hour) and popped into the Tesco store on the way back for refreshments (yes, I needed chocolate to reward myself for my efforts because I was soaked by that stage).

P – Peckham Rye: Mainly flat, they said! Lies! This (actually quite gorgeous) course goes round the park anticlockwise for three laps. And the run up to the finish funnel is a slope that, albeit not steep, is really rather long. After running up it in the first lap, I decided to save my knees and walk it the second and third times.

Peel: This event is located in Peel Park in Salford (Greater Manchester). It’s a two-lapper with a slight difference as the first lap takes you along the bottom river path and the second along the top one. Both river paths end in a (potentially quite muddy) bottleneck through some bushes onto the only grass section of the course. As this bit is really short, you probably won’t need trail shoes in wet weather conditions, although the paths taking you back towards near the start were quite icy when I went (early January) with a few muddy puddles to contend with. All in all, Peel is quite a scenic parkrun and I enjoyed an interesting walk there and back through the city centre.

Poole: Another stunning location for a parkrun. Poole is known for being flat and fast, so a great opportunity for a PB. It is, however, a popular event, so it can a bit get congested, especially at the start. You go twice round the cricket pitch and once round the lake, always in an anticlockwise direction. The finish tunnel is next to the fountain, where the first timers briefing takes place. Parking and toilets are close by. For vegan options afterwards, try the Delfino Lounge in the Dolphin Centre (where you can also park) or Miiko.

Portsmouth Lakeside: I’ve never had to splash through so many quite deep puddles on a parkrun before and I hope I won’t need to again! Admittedly, it was pouring with rain and had been wet for a while, but apparently there are almost always puddles at Portsmouth Lakeside. You’ve been warned. I wore road shoes and luckily didn’t slip on any of the muddier parts, but I could happily have run this course in trail shoes and felt more secure underfoot. There’s oodles of parking and a toilet in the Starbucks.

Q – Quakers Walk: Although this parkrun in Devizes is relatively new (it started in September 2023), it attracts a fair few visitors in search of their “Q”. The course itself is three laps shaped like a “P” and run anticlockwise. The “P” part forms the slight incline, while the straight is mostly flat/downhill. I ran it in road shoes, but it was already a bit slippy in places because of the rain, so consider trail shoes if it’s been wet and you’re averse to sliding and/or falling (I have to be careful because of my dodgy knees). I went as part of a Vegan Runners meetup and afterwards we enjoyed breakfast in Condado Lounge, which had a great selection of vegan options. We parked in Wharf car park (SN10 1EB) next to the river (gorgeous views). There was a toilet open there, but the queue was quite long when we arrived. It’s probably best to either park elsewhere with more toilets or stop somewhere for the loo before arriving in Devizes.

R – Riddlesdown: This is a pleasant, relatively flat, two-lap course run in the South London Downs National Nature Reserve with parking and toilets nearby.

Roundshaw Downs: Another parkrun on a chalk downland nature reserve, just a few miles north of Riddlesdown. The course is twice round the fields, with a long downhill section towards the finishing line on both laps. I recommend wearing trail shoes if it’s been wet as parts can get muddy and are run on grass.

S – Salisbury: I’m never a big fan of parkruns with lots of laps, so the prospect of four at Salisbury didn’t thrill me. However, running around Churchill Gardens with the river to our left some of the way and glimpses of the spire of Salisbury Cathedral through the trees was actually quite pleasant. We rounded off our Vegan Runners meetup with breakfast at The Phoenix Emporium followed by some mooching around the many varied stalls selling collectables, vintage clothes, antiques and so much more. A superb way to spend a Saturday morning!

Sittingbourne: The course is two loops around Milton Creek Country Park. This is a new green space in the town and so will be even lovelier once the trees mature. Toilet facilities are available.

Southampton: This is another course I know well as I have run and volunteered here a number of times. In fact, it’s the home of my top two 5K times. This is surprising as it’s also extremely popular and can get very congested in the first 1k before the path widens. And there’s also a toughish slope around the 3K mark. However, the last 1.5K is almost all downhill. As always, if you’re a fast runner, start at the front. Make sure you arrive early if coming by car to ensure you get a parking space. Toilets are available at Hawthorns Centre (if it’s open). Good places for vegan breakfast afterwards are Happy Bean Coffee Bar (selling cake to die for) and Cafe Thrive.

South Norwood: Set in a country park, this is a two lapper, run mostly on trail paths, although there is a section through an overgrown field. As the latter would probably get quite muddy after heavy rainfall, trail shoes might be a better option depending on the weather. No toilets or café, so come prepared!

Southsea: Both the A and B courses are typical seafront out-and-backs along the flat esplanade with plenty of room for overtaking, so could be good for a PB. We’ve been here for two Vegan Runners meetups and headed to the Hunter Gatherer afterwards both times for some wonderful breakfast options.

St Albans: Three laps, including around a small lake. Not the most impressive of parkruns, but nice enough if you happen to be in the area. The first half a kilometre on the grass can be really slippery in wet weather.

Storeys Field: This is another three lapper (well almost) around some fields in the new Eddington development in Cambridge. It’s flat, so could be quite fast for some, but soulless. I found that the wind was blowing so hard it almost stopped me in my tracks at a few points along the course the first time I did it. There are toilets in the cricket pavilion. I walked from the city centre and it took me 45 minutes, although there is a bus.

T – The Great Field: Three and a half laps around a park at Poundbury in Dorchester. Once the trees have grown, this will be a nice place to run. Despite some inclines, this has the potential to be a fast parkrun, although as it is currently very exposed, the wind can slow you down. For a vegan breakfast afterwards, head to the centre of town to Vibes.

The Leas: This is a promenade run on the Isle of Sheppey consisting of 1¾ laps. The upside of great views of the sea means it’s also very exposed to the elements, and battling against the wind can sap your energy. Despite that, it’s quite a good course for attempting a PB as attendance is quite low, the promenade wide enough to accommodate everyone and there’s only a slight rise (called the triangle) to navigate. The toilets are next to the Little Oyster car park, which is by the “triangle” part of the course.

U – Upton House: I’ve run in Upton Country Park quite a few times but only ever done the parkrun once. Great views and a few hilly stretches around three loops (big, small then big again). Plenty of parking and toilet facilities.

V – Victoria Dock: Due to ongoing works alongside the ExCel building, I ran the B course when I did this parkrun in February 2024. Starting at City Hall, the route takes you to the Sunborn Yacht Hotel where you do a U-turn to go back the way you’ve come, past City Hall again to another U-turn at the Beach Bar. Repeat until you’ve U-turned at the Sunborn three times. Then, instead of going to the Beach Bar for a third time, take the City Hall path to the finish funnel. The big bonus of this parkrun is that you get to ride the cable car for free when you show them your parkrun ID.

W – Walmer and Deal Seafront: I love running alongside the sea and often train on Bournemouth promenade. This is an out-and-back course from Walmer Castle to Deal pier and back. There are toilets at the nearest car park.

Weymouth: Weymouth has winter and summer routes in slightly different places. In winter (starting around November) it’s an out-and-back along the esplanade and in summer (starting around April) the event takes place in Lodmoor Country Park, which is opposite the winter course start (approximately 1.5 km from the train station). I ran along the seafront, enjoying great views of Weymouth Bay and the calming lapping of the waves on the beach.

Whiteley: Not the most exciting of courses, although it does have the advantage of loads of free parking right next to it and a shopping centre with plenty of places for breakfast afterwards. It’s also a hard surface all the way round. Essentially it’s one small lap followed by three longer ones, which also contain a short out-and-back section. The start is on a gentle slope that goes up right round the first field until the pathway leading down to the right, which you take the second, third and fourth times you come to it. You pass the finish relatively early on in each lap and can enter the funnel the fifth time you reach it.

Whitstable: Another scenic seafront route consisting of two laps. The finish is in front of the Marine Hotel at the top of the cliff, which is where runners meet before the race for the pre-briefing. You then walk down the slope to the start. There are toilets by the finish area and parking available along the road. We went to the Marine Hotel afterwards for breakfast, which has good but expensive vegan options.

Wimpole Estate: Lovely one-lap course with stunning views of the countryside, a folly and Wimpole Hall. Parking costs £2. Pay when you enter the stable block (also the location of the car park and toilets) unless you’re a National Estate member, in which case, just show your card as you go in. The route is mostly on grass (often dung covered!), so trail shoes would probably be best, especially on the downhill bits.

X – There is currently no parkrun anywhere in the world beginning with “X”. But I live in hope!

Y – York: I did this one on a really hot day in September and melted as there is no shade whatsoever given that it’s one and a half laps on tarmac around the racecourse. Obviously, lots of runners go to this parkrun to get their “Y”, so it’s quite busy. But if you’re speedy and start near the front, you could get a PB on this flat course. I was just happy I made it round and promptly collapsed on the grass where there was a bit of shelter from the sun.
