My 250th parkrun at Worcester was a last minute change of plan. Originally I had intended to visit the fairly new Greendale Farm Shop parkrun. There were two tourist groups attending, another lady also doing her 250th parkrun – as well as much celebrating. Lots of cake and even a Boomerang in attendance! However, it … Read more

It also happened to be another parkrun PB for myself thanks to the kindness of a couple of strangers. Cutteslowe and Sunnymead Park, North Oxford About Oxford … Read more
