Just to show you how crowded it was, about halfway round. There were about 284 on the run. Did I mention I was number 262 ☺

PS, I am the one in the middle. Just realised that the "crowd" you can see behind me had stopped to help someone who was unwell. Most of them passed me soon after!

. It was lovely weather by then but absolutely hammering down before we started, hence the coat and hat.

At least it wasn't you that collapsed!

No but it made me sad passing him. But he was in good hands, including a doctor who was one of the runners. He posted later on Facebook to say he was ok

That looks like a much nicer spot than the Park Runs local to me 😀 I see what you mean about space though. We are going away Sunday so cannot go this week or next (caravan to wash and pack ready for an early start) but I am definitely going to investigate when we are back. I will go with running gear and bar code just in case 😎

Is that a parkrun? If so, which one?

Yes, it is Conkers parkrun.org.uk/conkers/

It was lovely, I have walked some of the route before, so knew what to expect. Nothing as nice as that near home

Not what you're looking for?
