Who would have thought it....using my Middle English on a running forum What fun!

Anyway, I woke up this morning, after a very, very weird dream.

I was at Chirk Castle...scene of my past post, " and this is dedicated to". Just before I woke, I had just signed up for a Park run In the Castle Grounds..!!!

!!!

In the dream, if you signed up, a very hale and hearty lady, in long, khaki running shorts, ( think Morecambe and Wise, those of you who are old enough), and an anorak... gave you a bottle of Chardonnay, which I am not fond of, a box of chocolates, which I don't eat and a really lovely picnic blanket... Yeay. Then you had to dip your hand in a huge stirrup cup, type thing which had ice and coal floating in it, all sacred symbols of running , the lady told me ... go figure!

I really am odd

This was on my mind as I woke, so I had a quick look on the NT site and picked up this link.

nationaltrust.org.uk/running

I know also, that some of the NT sites have Green Gyms too..

Just thought it may interest folk, with the better weather coming...and I know Irish Princess won't mind me sneaking this in...

No need for replies... ( especially comments on my weirdness)... it just followed on from the dream..,

Don't worry I reckon I could compete with you in the wierd dream stakes! 😊😆 

The trouble is it all seems so real and makes kind of sense at the time!!Wish we could record them and play them back!maybe one day!!!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to aliboo70]

Well that would be just brilliant... mine would truly, like a lot of folks, I bet, make interesting watching..

Morning missus ☺   I dreamt that I awoke to find a glass of wine on my bedside table.  I gave up boozing several years ago (in real life, not in the dream ).  In my dream this glass of wine set me in a panic as I thought i'd fallen off the wagon.  I was ever so put out.  

Off running in a mo.  Might wear me new tights ☺

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Eeek! Well done you... what a relief! Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New tights..pikkie please?  Have a lovely run!

[skysue16 Graduate]

What an interesting link - I didn't realise that the NT held such events - thank you for the information Floss.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to skysue16]

You are very welcome.. I can truly say.. runnin around the NT at Chirk was amazing when I did it in reality..!

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Tee Hee ! All my weird dreams started when I stopped smoking ! Why , I don't know , there mustve been all sorts going through my head ha ha ! xxx

[davelinks Graduate]

Yeah! Weird! Just like some of mine! 😀  l've been to a few of those NT houses in September last year, Montacute & Lanhydrock house's, on an organised tour of the southwest, so sadly unable to do the Parkruns...😔

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to davelinks]

Oh well.. as they say, in your dreams... x

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

Nice link and completely bonkers dream Oldfloss! (Glad I'm not the only one!) 🙂

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

We are all a tad loopy in our dreams..have your read poppypug's

[Sandraj39 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Yep - that did make me laugh! Good ol' Poppy😅!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

She is priceless.. love her to bits

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Aw thankyou so much Floss ((( )))

Lots of love right back 'atcha ! xxx

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

Great link Floss. I think hubby and I will look into this. He has just retired and we are keen to do some trips in the uk, we should definately pack our running gear, we are used to scenic long walks but now our lovely dog is 13 she is not really up to it. Running would introduce a new dimension..

You didnt  eat cheese before bed last night did you?.....😊

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

I did.... I usually avoid cheese after 12 noon... A trip to the UK sounds wonderful... let me know if you are heading this way...So may great places.. Derbyshire.. amazing..but hilly for runs.. Shropshire a bit flatter generally !!! South Staffs.. I know just the places !

[Rignold]

Your acumen  with the icumen is uncommon. (was unable to shoehorn 'ecumenical into the sentence.)

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Superb!!!!

[ju-ju- Graduate]

what an amazing dream!!!!! That run looks amazing on the link....

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to ju-ju-]

it was... I am following your great running example..just really , really , really slowly

[justkeepgoing Graduate]

Hiya - Are you near Chirk castle then or making a special trip?  Not too far myself.  Gorgeous place

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

I go to Chirk regularly in my tin-tent , to the CC site.. and run around the park in the mornings!
