Anyone in the area?....

[Oldfloss]

Anyone in or around the Pwllheli area for the Park Run this Saturday...?

I am going to give it a try

[Pianism Graduate10]

I wish I was, but I'm afraid it's rather far for me.

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Pianism]

I am hoping maybe someone lives nearby... x

[TailChaser Graduate10]

I wish we were!! Good luck with it xx

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to TailChaser]

It looks different!

There are not many folk running it.. last week 35... which will suit me I have driven to suss the course out... it may be the slowest 5K I have ever run!!!

Hopefully come the summer... the Feline family may be able to sneak a visit in I know some great places for coffee and ... cake xx

Yum 😋 xx

The picture suggests it might be a tad chilly...

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Katnap]

Chilly...!

Honestly ,it was freezing the day I sussed it out.. a wind blowing across the bay and tiny sand particles in your eyes! It is currently raining here today but has given fine tomorrow... so the snail is heading to the sea shore x

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Hope you have a great run! I've been on that very beach many, many times since a child so I understand what that cold sand blasting feels like..

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Katnap]

Tee hee.. well.. apparently a high tide, presented obstacles on the 23rd March...at 9.15.... and there is a high tide at 9. 46 tomorrow.. so... I need to get back to the start before then xx This could be my fastest, slowest or wettest run ever

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Or some combination of!?

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

That cold sand blasting feeling... Nice! Hopefully not tomorrow! 😁

Methinks Oldfloss may have caught the Parkrun bug 🐜 😂

Have a lovely run by the sea , we’ll be running with you in Southsea

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

Maybe... the snails and I will take a saunter by the sea!

When on holiday down there, some family members enjoyed the Penrhyn Castle parkrun.

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Renidragas]

Yes..it is a good one, beautiful location.... but a bit of a trek from Criccieth, and the traffic on a Saturday gets really snarled up around Carnarfon and Bangor...... I can run to Hafon Park run, down the coastal path, from here

[Renidragas in reply to Oldfloss]

Enjoy! It’s all a beautiful area. We’ve had two big family holidays in Abersoch in recent years. Grandma gets to look after the little ones while the parents run! 😂

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Renidragas]

I love it here.. been coming since I was 12.... it has not changed... Here every other week

I’d be interested to read your run report, Oldfloss: we will be in the area over 2 weekends in the summer and I’m considering doing this parkrun but I’m aware it could be really tough, being all on sand.

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to molly1973]

Brilliant... I will post and you let me know when you're here.. a meet up maybe

[molly1973 in reply to Oldfloss]

Ooh will do! I also looked at Newborough Forest or even Dolgellau looks nice but might be a bit far from where we are staying: we will be between Pwllheli and Criccieth 👍

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to molly1973]

Perfect..Llanystumdwy is mid way.. I run there regularly 🙃

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Fingers crossed for good weather - and firm sand!😀
