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
The reason I know about the 10 Boomerangs is because it was posted in a parkrun Facebook tourism group.

We headed to Lydney parkrun in The Forest of Dean for event 410. If I had thought about it I could have couple it with a deep in the well – but what a good reason to return. It is a varied course and super friendly – this is how we got on. Lydney parkrun, … Read more
