We headed to Ludlow Parkrun as I needed to be in Hereford for work and it was the NENDY to there. Offering up my time to volunteer as a park walker so that I wasn’t too tired for the 12 hr shift ahead. Little did I know that I wouldn’t actually be getting back to … Read more
We booked our half term holiday in the Netherlands to be able to complete two Z parkruns over there. We opted for Zuiderpark parkrun Den Haag (not Hoogeveen) as it is the closest Z parkrun to the ferry port. When we arrived it was clearly the popular choice with alphabeteer parkrun tourists! Our campsite was … Read more
We headed to Zegerplas parkrun in the Netherlands this half term. Those familiar with the parkrun challenges will know that the Alphabeteer Challenge is one that is very popular. What you need is to go to an event that starts with the first letter of every letter of the alphabet. However, currently in the UK … Read more
We headed to Woodgate Valley Country parkrun despite the fact that we knew the founder of parkrun, Paul Sinton-Hewitt was going to be at Cirencester parkrun. There were two reasons for this. One being that without going abroad for yet another extra day I wouldn’t get my Cowell by the end of the year. Secondly, … Read more

If there was any doubt whether the appeal of parkrun was down to the community that would have been well and truly squashed at this fab event! Really reinforcing why I love parkrun tourism.

We headed to Thornbury parkrun which is the last of the parkruns that have any vague association as being a Gloucestershire parkrun. Personally I would consider it to be a Bristol one, but we went because it was also one of our more immediate NENDYS and an event number for my floating Wilson (see parkrun … Read more
We headed to Cannon Hill parkrun for event 666. When I say we, it was just myself and my husband. Finally completing a 666 event. Originally I had wanted to head to Forest of Dean, but broke my foot! Next I planned Leamington’s 666, but my husband was ill and I really don’t like driving! … Read more
