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). Plus I do love playing the “which parkrun” game in the West Midlands group so it is good … Read more
We headed to Kingsbury Water parkrun to complete the last of any parkruns in Birmingham. This is in Sutton Coldfield, which they like to not consider as Birmingham but it is in the West Midlands area. We found this to not only be a very beautiful parkrun, but a very friendly one too. Literally everyone … Read more
After our son deferred his place for the London Marathon it left us with a free weekend! Having always wanted to visit Poland we took the opportunity to have a short break whilst visiting Zielony Jar parkrun. This is also giving us a Z for a third parkrun alphabet. Also it would give me a fifth … Read more
We headed to the beautiful Cosmeston Lakes parkrun in Wales. Our son had previously suggested going there and he wasn’t wrong about how lovely it was. Having previously been bitten by a dog at parkrun I also liked that it was a dog prohibited course (apart from assistance dogs). Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, Lavernock Road, … Read more

We headed to Tamworth Castle Grounds parkrun for event 113. This helped me with a number of my parkrun challenges and also wasn’t too far away from home. Another reason I picked it was for it being flat and on path. This week I decided to straight run it, rather than Jeff. Tamworth Castle Grounds, … Read more
Our NENDY was Queenswood Country parkrun and I had waited until event 12 before visiting. This was to help build my Wilson Index. Obviously alphabet chasers are more likely to go with it being a Q – so I was well warned about CruellaDeHill! Queenswood Country Park & Arboretum, Dinmore Hill, Leominster, Herefordshire, HR6 0PY … Read more
My husband and I headed to Irchester Country parkrun to start finalising our second parkrun alphabet. It was quite a last minute decision as the one I had originally planned sounded really muddy. Then someone we know through the Boomerangs said that they might head there so it’s where we ended up. Luckily so did … Read more
