Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Probably tough to walk too. I find parkwalking takes a lot of time even on the flat.


Wear decent footwear, approach shoes or the like, it’ll be muddy.

Hull parkrun for me this weekend - taking junior to Hull University for an open day which starts at 09:00 so hopefully I can drop him off early and make it to parkrun in time - this all hinges on getting him out of his pit to set off early :-)

In London for the weekend and the closest parkruns to where we are staying are Southwark or Victoria Dock. Does anyone know these and have any suggestions on which to pick?

First time this year on the summer route at Fell Foot on Saturday


Spoke too soon - just had the message that we're back to the winter route this week because it's not stopped raining for days - on the up side, setup doesn't take as long so I don't need to start quite as early.

@WayOfTheDodo - Southwark is a nice event in a pleasant park with a nice cafe and facilities.
Victoria Dock is one of those that I have been involved with on the core team and ran there often up to several years ago, has no facilities unless you sneak into a hotel and generally has as many if not more first and only time visitors than regulars as such it has lost much of its local community vibe and struggles for volunteers so, if you have a non running companion(s) they would be made more than welcome if they were willing to assist with marshalling ( no course knowledge as it is literally several times up and down a short section of dockside path ) and scanners.

Personally I would opt for Southwark but that said I have already done the Cable Car and have no desire to chase challenges.
