VRB meet-up Southampton

[damienair]

Hello everyone. I am having a great time touring around Ireland at the moment doing some parkrun tourism. Last night I booked a trip to the Netherlands in July to get my Z for the alphabet challenge and next weekend I will be travelling to Shannon to get my I. I’ll just need a J and a Y after that. Another challenge I have to do is the Compass Challenge. I have my West at Westport parkrun and I got my East at Eastville parkrun where I met some VRB’s from here around 5 years ago and it was so great. I have booked another trip to get my South in Southampton on the 21st of September. I know it is a long way away yet, but if anyone is not too far away and interested in going to do the parkrun and meet up for post parkrun coffee and cake please let me know. Put it in your diary and I’ll remind you again closer to the date. I’ll be bringing my 15 year old Son with me for some father-son bonding, God help me 😁. Bye the way I think the Z in the Netherlands is also a South, but we won’t tell my Son.

Northhamton parkrun would complete your compass parkruns Damien.

Yes there is Northampton and a North close to Manchester that I know of. I’ll leave my North for a trip next year. I’m also trying to get 50 parkruns done this year. I’ll spend more time next year volunteering too.

I hope to be riding a sportive that day (in Warwick). I hope you have fun and a great meet up. Xx

By a bitter irony, I’ll be in Ireland 🇮🇪 on our postponed Wild Atlantic Way trip

[damienair Administrator in reply to Sandie1961]

Ah I hope you have an amazing trip to Ireland.

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

I’m sure we will. I’m going to have to research other parkruns though, because we’re not starting our trip on the same day of the week 🤦🏼‍♀️

[damienair Administrator in reply to cheekychipmunks]

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

A possible for me, I might be due a trip south by then,

[damienair Administrator in reply to SueAppleRun]

That would be lovely. Looking forward to seeing you.

I would love to do this. I live in Lymington so I'm very close by. I'm re doing C25K again (currently on week 8) but should be good to go by September 👍👍

[damienair Administrator in reply to Yogamaz]

Brilliant. I’ll put up another post closer to the time. 👍

[BahamaMama1]

What a great plan!

[GTFC Graduate10]

This is epic damienair you've done do well so far and what brilliant plans ahead! Southampton is a long way from Middlesbrough...but you never know pal 😁

[damienair Administrator in reply to GTFC]

Not to worry, I’ll be planning another trip next year to do a parkrun starting with North so could find somewhere not too far from you and arrange another VRB meet up then.

[Kirst13 Graduate10]

Shame that the parkrun in Youghal is called Pobalscoil na Tríonóide or you'd have had your Y sorted while in Ireland!

[GTFC Graduate10]

Which one are you doing in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 mate? And when because we're potentially looking at it too 👀 Easier to get to than Southampton 🤣🤣
