Cats? Beat this!!

Just thought I’d try to compete with AlMorr and Ali re pet pictures! Not mine but some of HM The Queen made an appearance at the Pontefract Parkrun this morning! To be fair, they usually swan around (literally!) on the boating lake watching with bemusement as we all go 🏃‍♂️ by but obviously they thought they’d come on land and check things out!

Hi, those swans look good, they didn't actually run 5K, IF they had blocked the route of the parkrun, there isn't much you can do about that, I hope you enjoyed your run today. 😊 🏃

😂😂😂😂 you’re right re 🦢! Would be a shame to be dragged off to The Tower after a Parkrun for upsetting them!

Swans are a protected species, for that matter so are, cats, dogs and parkrun runners. 😊🏃

Aren't animals just great. I've got swans, geese and duck at my parkrun 😊

There are squirrels and peacock's in the park in Dunfermline where I run a parkrun, the name of the restaurant that some runners are in for a cake and a cup of tea/coffee after the run is called the Peacock Restaurant, however, it's got a bad reputation for unfriendly staff.

Maybe you should tell the staff to try c25k it will make them friendly😂

I agree with you Buddy, personally I have never been in that restaurant, it's just reports from other people who say the staff are unfriendly, I notice that they close the restaurant at 3.30pm, the middle of the afternoon, perhaps things have got better, perhaps one day I will try that place and see how good or bad it is.
