0: The best run

This in my opinion is the best run based on length, overall speed and views.*

 * keep an eye out for dog mess! :(

1: Death run

This slope is deadly. Very steep and bumpy with multiple obstacles at the bottom. Sledge this if you dare!

2: Good run

This is a fairly fast run. Starts off quite steep to a gentle slope. You can make it all the way to the trees crossing over the main path. Stay frosty and alert!

3: Gentle run

A fairly long and low speed run with a great view of the valley towards the lake.

4: Fast short run

Short and fast run. Watch out for the path and few trees beyond the path


Más sobre Fast short run

5: Drop in medium run

This run has a steeper drop in point before a run similar to the one above. Cool runnings!


Más sobre Drop in medium run

6: Short n sweet runs

Medium speed short slopes.

7: Wood run

This fairly steep landscaped slope near the Sainsbury Centre starts fast then follows a trip into the trees and bushes of the woodland edge...

8: Steep runs

This landscaped slope provides a fast and sharp run with good bit of pace gained for distance too. Watch out for the many snow ramps created at the bottom of the slope to launch off. Check out this snow sledge jump recorded here. :)

9: Short n fast run

Big decline with sharp angle change at the foot of the slope - watch you don't bruise your posterior!


Más sobre Short n fast run

10: Winter wonderland run

This path cuts right through the trees. Almost too shallow a slope to get any real speed. Watch out for people on the end of the other run!

11: Free Parking - Colney Lane

Good for parking. Don't put your valuables on show says the signs - probably best you heed that!


Más sobre Free Parking - Colney Lane

12: Free Parking - North Park Avenue

Limited parking space but convenient for the big mound. As always hide or keep your valuables on you.

13: Frozen lake

The lakes freeeze over during prolonged cold snaps. Too dangerous to ice skate on. Best thing is thowing stones to hear the awesome sound it makes as they scuttle to the other side - watch out for the wildfowl though!

14: Free Parking - University drive

Free parking but a bit of distance from the UEA

15: Helipad

In case of avalanche or a broken bone go here to be airlifted out!

16: Icicle cascade

I wonder if Sir Denys Lasdun realised that the 'ziggurats' would create an beautiful cascade of icicles? Well worth a look...

No through-traffic due to bollards. Only a few parking spots on the south side of the bollards.
