My first parkrun for three years and I chose Sheringham. It is lovely but pretty tough, mostly on rough track and undulating. A good one to start with as hopefully things can only get better!

Sheringham is one of the nicest courses I think - occasional glimpses of the sea and the steam engine getting ready for its first trip of the day. Quite steep in places though.

I ran round some of Falkirk with some Sheringham tourists. They totally dropped me on our big hill.
Volunteered as tokens assistant on Saturday. Went alright, only dropped around 25 and that was at the start, so plenty of time to pick them up :-). (Too many on the cable now for our higher numbers, barely space to unhook it. That's my excuse and I am sticking to it.)

Surprises me that no-one has come up with the definitive token distribution tool. I've seen some handmade boxes and other contraptions at some parkruns, but dropped tokens do seem to be a reasonably regular mishap which might benefit from a good solution.

When I'm on timekeeping I'm used to new runners occasionally trying to present their barcodes to me but a new one on Saturday was a runner holding the barcode under the timing device, as if the device was going to scan the barcode like a self-service checkout.

we have them on kilt pins in batches of 50... the only mishap can be if you lift the wrong 50 in haste, or stab a runner...

We have kilt pins, too. Well, I think they are something from knitting but they look like large kilt pins.

I am down in York next week but their parkrun isn't on due to pretty muddy.
What's the nearest/easiest to get to by public transport from York? I won't have a car so most likely would get the train if possible. Don't mind a really early start as shame to waste a Saturday morning not parkrunning.
Thanks

At a guess, Northallerton or woodhouse moor.
