I managed to do some Parkrun tourism for the first time in twelve months today. Recent attempts failed.
So a morning out at Kesgrave today and am planning Lowestoft next week 🤞

Next week is Corby's 200th event, they're trying to break their attendance record. #200for200.

There will be cake, lots of cake.

And whilst there is coffee at the pavilion, Fetchies are welcome to come back to ours after :-)

Bob!
I got my volunteer email through earlier:

Thank you very much for your support at Maldon Prom parkrun, event 210 on 2017-08-05. You've now volunteered at this event on 100 separate occasions.

:-)

I was at abingdon touring today and saw a car hit a parkrun cyclist. Cyclist fine. Car fine. But a couple of 70/80 year olds in the car gave unacceptable abuse to the poor lady who clearly made a mistake in pulling out of the car park. I know it's a shock but wtf with all the yelling. Idiots then wanted to pull over and check the car. Things is - given the way insurance works if I had been the driver (apart from being more concerned for the woman than the effing car) I would have checked she was okay and gone off. Insurance companies could treat it as 50/50 and cyclist could milk it (I am sure she won't -she was horrified).

Congrats Bob!

@Fizz - tempted to make the journey to Corby, but it's a 180-mile round trip - thought I was closer to Corby than that :-(
