Just back from a warm but enjoyable run at Horspath near Oxford. A two lapper that folds back on itself a lot and a friendly team. That only leaves Harcourt to do around Oxford (unless you count Bicester)

Did my northernmost parkrun at Brueton Park in Solhill.
Very scenic park indeed :)

I was supposed to be at Central Plymouth this week but unfortunately GWR had different ideas.
Instead of letting the train take the strain I drove to Heartlands. Nice to do a flat parkrun again after several weeks of hilly ones.
Here are the latest stats:

Nice run today at Bicester with Andy. A bit like Crane Park in that it's mainly in the park but you go out onto the road for a short stretch

That stats sheet is incredible. Turns out I unknowingly crossed swords with geofftech at my most recent parkrun. Would love to throw my name into the mix: https://www.parkrun.org.uk/parkrunner/48492/

Might need an asterisk for now as I've no tube challenge attempts to my name yet. Looking forward to getting stuck into a FNC and "Lon-done" in no particular order

Hi Ally, welcome to the forum. I will add you to the sheet when I have a bit of time. You have some pretty impressive times, that running speed will definitely be of great use when it comes to the FNC!

Bloomin' heck, you're not kidding! Fast stuff.


Also, well done Andi, that level of tourism takes serious dedication to avoiding lie ins on Saturday mornings.
