This year we headed to Cowfest North at Ushaw Historic House parkrun. Initially when the Cowfest locations were announced I had already been planning on going there.

A relatively new, beautiful event in the West Midlands saw us heading to Haughmond Hill parkrun. It was event 34 so great for my lower numbers for the Wilson Index and Fibonacci (see parkrun Stats and Challenges).

Literally everyone … Read more
