Nice one Kev. Another new one started nearish me today, but the course description says it will be muddy so am hoping for a decent dry spell before going to that. Have nearly run out of different events within my comfortable driving time. Will make the Tourist award next time, but getting to 25 will be tricky.

Here is this weeks update.
I'm back on the tourist trail next week at Ally Pally.
I was lucky enough to tick off a Stopwatch Bingo this week, just one left (16) to collect the badge.

Tourist status achieved today at the weirdly named Shipley Country parkrun - presumably trying to avoid being Shipley Country Park parkrun. An unusual course in that although designated "two laps" is really one lap mostly outside the park followed by two laps on a mostly different route within the park, containing a nasty hill.

conwy parkrun has to be one of the most scenic parkruns there is a fabulous all around view of conwy castle and its estuary. a flatish parkrun apart from the annoying overbridge section which does ruin ur flow of running and certainly didnt help my knee with its constant turning and twisting through that bit i think it heal for this week as im at the new fleet one edenbrook.

Yep a lovely run at Edenbrook with Andy and Das. A complex course to look at but not bad to run.

I managed my fastest time of the year, quite happy with that as Land's End is not the easiest course.

Eased my Wilson Index up to the heady heights of 2 on Saturday, by running the disappointingly named Bramshall Road parkrun in Uttoxeter. Reasonably pleasant course, but it's a three lapper with two shortish hills on each lap so they get annoying by the third time round! Likely to run it quite a bit over the next few weeks to get my Wilson up, as not sure if the rumoured Tamworth event will take off, and I've only got a couple of closeish ones left to pick off.

I did Netley Abbey to complete my name and we were on the B course due to an event, so we had a five and a half laps of the junior course.
