Is the map rubbish? In parts out looked like it could be a nice little area.. I was just exited to find a hill

All LEI forest maps are rubbish. This is a sweeping statement but I think it might be justified. Cademan & Thringstone is the best of the bunch.

Plenty of lovely places to run though - go to Beacon Hill and Bradgate Park if you like hills. Other nice woods which are probably approximately within running distance are Swithland and Benscliffe. All these areas are "mapped".

You gotta link up with Andy Simpson and Toni O'Donovan as well as other folk. Handy helpers living in Quorn.

Outwoods is where all Loughborough do their hill sessions isn't it? Until the rain and mud comes...
