Do we have to make one up? |

| robw: | I geuss if you translated it literally it would be electric light track but they dont exist in australia so i reckon just stick to the danish/swe word, its like english uses fartlek instead of speed play cos its a swedish thing, plus it sounds better. |

| robw: | You cant just use the aboriginal names for it - that just the same as using swedish or danish, what about a bulbusta? Then it has the word bulb in it which refers to the lights and the word busta which explains that is a track where you bust ya gut... does it get more self explanatory. "I just got back from 10k on the bulbusta". |

| Shep: | not bad robw, not bad. you dont think "artificiallyilluminatedrecreationtrail" has a better ring to it?
how about this - the longest word... from swedish with 130 letters. sortof reminds me of scrotumanimals: NORDÖSTERSJÖKUSTARTILLERIFLYGSPANINGSSIMULATORANLÄGG- NINGSMATERIELUNDERHÅLLSUPPFÖLJNINGSSYSTEMDISKUSSIONS- INLÄGGSFÖRBEREDELSEARBETEN |

| acejase: | how about getting into some good ol aussie rhyming slang:
"yeh the other day I was running down the ol septic bight back" |

| robw: | Top effort Jase, it works on two fronts, the ryhming slang and the fact that after a hard session on the septic bite back there usually is a bit of septic bite back.
Clever thinking shep - and that swe word is crazy ( see it includes your favourite new swedish word too - span) but dont you think "artificiallyilluminatedrecreationtrail" needs to be more descriptive - i mean from your word we dont know what the surface is like or how the lights are suspended or that its likely to be in the forest. |

| blairtrewin: | It would be nice if anywhere in Australia (or at least anywhere where normal people live) had any use for lit cross-country ski tracks - I've often thought places like Canberra or Bendigo would be brilliant for cross-country skiing if they had snow. |
