Just realised that I missed one important stat from this weekends results.

Geofftech achieved his 250th Parkrun at Father Collins.
He becomes the 3rd forum member to achieve this milestone.
One day I shall return!

Managed to get to Camperdown parkrun (although a little early forgetting to check that it was a 9:30am start!). 1 lap in a figure-of-8 mainly along woodland trails and paths with some decent elevation change and a long hill that feels like it keeps getting steeper at the back of the course. Would definitely recommend as it's a beautiful course and easy to get to from Dundee by bus. Really happy with my time of 25:15 given the nature of the course and still recovering from a training 5k run on Thursday.

Lovely trip down to East Brighton parkrun with Andi who injured himself early on leading to him walking the rest and my lapping him for possibly the first time.It's a very twisty course with slightly different starts to each lap and then the rest the same. Plus a warning in the race briefing that if the medical helicopter needs to land on the football pitch then the parkrun will be abandoned!! Fortunately it didn't happen.

What happened Andi? Did they scan your barcode? I'm assuming that you are the UNKNOWN runner shown in 123rd position?

I didn't bother to scan my barcode as it was in my bag one of their volunteers said what's ur number and position. They didn't add it in email said he spoke to all volunteers nobody admitted fault or even talking to me pretty shoddy explanation defo not recommend this Parkrun to anyone else. Im taking it as a free run not in results

I must admit they didn't seem a great or friendly bunch when I went there - appeared very inclusive I thought.... The only one less friendly was Wanstead Flats if you recall Andi...
