A new one coming to Cornwall, that's exciting news. I will be doing Penrose and Trelissick in the a couple of weeks :-)

I was also considering Eden Project, but I noticed it is closed for a couple of weeks. We need to co-ordinate our schedules better and try and be in Cornwall at the same time!

Hope the trip didn't cost too much - are you staying in Sweden for a Sat run?

You can get from London to Malmo by train. I've done it, although not consecutively, but over the course of a week. Eurostar to Brussels, Thalys to Amsterdam, ICE to Hamburg, ICE to Copenhagen (including a ferry), Oresundstag to Malmo. Although I had to deal with a railway staff strike and had to use a replacement bus over the Oresund bridge. It must have been this time of year because I remember watching coverage of National Day on Swedish TV from Copenhagen.

If there aren't any close-by parkruns in Sweden, there must be one in Copenhagen !?!

Apparently it was 14 hours travelling time on the trains (to Copenhagen) not including changes, so not practical for a day trip!

I am actually staying in Copenhagen. About £94 for flights and a hostel for 3 nights. Amager Strandpark in the morning!

So Sweden has extra parkruns on its National Day

In the UK we have extra parkruns on our bank holidays Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

Do other countries do similar? How many worldwide parkruns could you complete in a year?

Down to Cranleigh today with Andi and Kev, picking up a few disused stations on the way. A pretty twisty but fun course - and I got back to run walking, so a bit faster. Three more to go for 100 :D

Here is a list of the "special" parkruns

https://support.parkrun.com/hc/en-us/ar ... ial-Events

Potentially you could do Denmark on Christmas Eve, UK/France for Christmas Day, then Germany on Boxing Day, plus the normal parkrun on 28th Dec and two on New Years Day! Then over to Russia for Orthodox Christmas Day on 7th Jan.
