Could well be too. Could find a darts pub and join the fun by proxy, the date clash is unfortunate

Well I for one said last year after three years at same venue Worthing try something differant. Where I appreciate that no one has come forward to say organise here in differant place concludes the fact of status quo.

And that's the main reason I gave up going to darts in London ended up way to late for non Londoners. I now have job on Sat evenings in bmth which I enjoy.

Also shame it's on same date but that just coincidental I be going there instead park runs are differant and exciting not the same apart from distance.

My right knee has been a bit dodgy of late, which is why I wasn't at Fareham last week.

I will still be at Portsmouth Lakeside inaugural tomorrow though.

Well that was a right royal balls up!

Left on time, half way to the bus stop I realised I'd left my Oyster and stuff in another pair of trousers, so back I went, faffed getting my spare keys off a neighbour. Headed tp the bus stop again. Just missed one, DMI said 24 mins wait (they're supposed to be every 8-10), so I headed to the station. The train terminated early so I was way out of position. I might just have made it but since there's one next week I decided to have coffee and cake without the park run :D

Just walking home from the bus stop, and a bird took a dump on my head!

There's either something wrong with your browser or your eyes. :)

Not parkrun related as such...

but my first race tomorrow.

been swapped in pretty last minute into a relay team for the MK marathon. Running the last 10k. Hopefully I'll enjoy it as it's a nice section of the route, finishing in the stadium.
