Hey guys (her again? I hear the collective groan ๐Ÿ˜…) ๐Ÿ‘‹

Next Saturday, October 12th, damienair and his son are using my local PR, Eastville Park in Bristol, as one of their Compass Challenge runs. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

It would be fabulous if anyone else would care to join us. Am I right in thinking that you will be there SkiMonday ? ๐Ÿ˜€ Iโ€™m pretty sure that Dexy5 and UpTheStanley are coming too, so thereโ€™s already quite a nice little posse. ๐Ÿ‘

But obviously, the more the merrier, so if you fancy an undulating inner city (but really pretty) PR, come along! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

Sorry we can't make it next week, but it is definitely on the list for when we visit my brother.

Apart from anything else it counts towards the Compass in Running Challenges. We already have North Sydney and South Manchester is scheduled for January, so Eastville will be the third point.

Brilliant. We are staying in a guest house close to Eastville Park so will be within walking distance.

Oh thatโ€™s good. I havenโ€™t run Eastville in about a month - so much tourism has been going on! So itโ€™ll fun to go back! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

I daren't commit to anything until I have a car. I will try and do a Bristol Parkrun one day. Will probably tie it in with a meeting at the Glos office.

Oh donโ€™t worry Jonathan, I understand that most sane people donโ€™t spend hours in their cars just for a 5k run! Only some (๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ)

I'll be there!

I added an update to Damien's original post before I found this one.

I'm going to be one of the volunteers so I can't really do a kit photo, besides, the beard is one of my recognisable features and it's not detachable.

It should be easy to recognise me by looking out for a combination of an Auzzie hat (no corks), goatee, sandals and yellow vest.

I'm planning on getting the bus so I should get there around 8:00.

Brilliant, canโ€™t wait to meet you! Iโ€™ll park at Tescoโ€™s and walk up. My daughter is coming along too! ๐Ÿ‘

Glad I checked: the bus I get doesn't stop at the Shell petrol station and I think the next stop is in the centre of town. Must remember to get off early!

Oh yes definitely lucky you checked! Iโ€™m surprised thereโ€™s no stop at the Shell station. ๐Ÿค”

There is a stop there but it seems that the Y2 doesn't use it.

I wish we could but weโ€™ll be right the other side of England this Saturday getting our first โ€˜Gโ€™ for the BeeGees challenge! We do need to do Eastville though as weโ€™ve only got Southampton so far. Have fun! ๐Ÿ˜€

Just had a crazy week in work. Long days and a lot of driving. Just finished emails now. I didnโ€™t visit the forum much this week. Iโ€™ve shut the laptop and after 7.5 hours in the car Iโ€™m going out for a nice 5K run. Then home and pack the bag for tomorrow. So looking forward to a day off and a parkrun challenge. cheekychipmunks Dexy5 SkiMonday UpTheStanley See you all on Saturday morning by the finish funnel. Bristol here we come.

Enjoy Bristol with Oisin tomorrow Damien. Not sure if the weather is going to behave for you unfortunately ....... ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿ’ฆ

Umbrella and rain coats packed. Friday in Bristol will be just like a summers day in Ireland. Hoping Saturday will be dry and the parkrun weather fairies ๐Ÿงšโ€โ™€๏ธ do their job.
