Run directed this morning with an added litter pick afterwards- the run went really well and then we collected 24 bags of litter as a team!

Met up with Andi - what a lovely park Brockwell is! There's even a miniature railway. It's got some long hills in it so quite hard work in places.

If anybody ever fancies Oxford, they also have a miniature railway. Are there any more?

I added Coventry to my list yesterday.

Netley Abbey has one.

Eastney Juniors has a small miniature railway (if that makes sense). Zoom in on the course map and you'll see it.

And I forgot, there's also a mini-railway in the same park as Bognor Regis parkrun. https://www.hothamparkrailway.co.uk/

Milton Keynes parkrun runs alongside a miniature railway track too- but trains don't operate during parkrun times.

Fortunately the trains at Bognor also don't run during parkrun times, because the parkrun course crosses the track several times.
