Been to Lagos. Don’t recommend it. It hasn’t got a parkrun :-)

Nigeria or Portugal, HB? Not that either has a parkrun, though I reckon the latter would be more runner-friendly.

I didn't know there's a parkrun at Cranbrook now, Hunky Teddy! That's very close to son2 in Pinhoe - I must try and get him there for 9am one Saturday soon :-) Would it be suitable (when not flooded!) for running with a buggy do you think?

Daisy there was someone with a buggy there, yes. I don't know what he did when he got to the Lake though.

I'd like to do it again when it goes through the grass rather than on paths. Need a few dry weeks though.

No toilets and a real hike back to the car park or if you want a coffee at the end.

No, was watching the rain and waiting for the ocado van!

Usually run up to the park on a morning before work, too dark now
But let me know if you're up this way again and we'll sort out a meet up x

Nigeria Dvorak, though it was 1987 and to be fair nowhere had a parkrun then!
