on my run today I found myself dodging through a fairground. One of the routes I commonly take out of town was in the process of being blocked off with rides and stuffed-animal stalls, so I'll have to avoid that path for a few days. It looked like it would become a surprisingly big fair for this small town and I suppose the music and lights could add a bit of excitement to a run, but going through the grounds today it already smelt like petrol and burgers, and that was just from the workers caravans so I doubt it will be very pleasant when the fair is actually open.
This week the internet route planner I am testing is mapmyrun.com. I am going to trial it for a few days before writing my review, but so far I am really impressed and think this could be a contender for the crown. You don't need to register or sign in to use the route plotter so if you just wanted to quickly check a route, say, at work, there is minimal time-wasting. Also, and here is a big, gold-star worthy bonus, there appear to be altitude lines and terrain type as display options. This sounds very promising!
But my news of the day is really this: Following my (admittedly harsh) criticism of Sanoodi last week, a nice chap from the Sanoodi team (a sanoodidude if you will) has got in touch with me to let me know they are working on some of the issues I mentioned. It sounds like they are planning to fix the problems with the site and I am really looking forward to re-visiting it in a few weeks to see if I can re-instate it as my mapping site of choice.
It was very nice to hear that my comments were valuable- perhaps this blog will do some good after all!

Go get em girl. It's great when people listen to you rather than just shoving your problems in a drawer somewhere.
The fair isn't taking up as much space as it could have been.
