Wine Legs Apr 2019 12:13pm, 15 Apr 2019 4,747 posts	Quote Pin Wine Legs Thanks DeeGee. I had some confusion / distrust in my head between your real name and your fetch name, despite knowing both. I knew you were the fetchie in the area I was thinking of though... Scunny we've done before (I think) (pre-kids), but is a bit out of the way, as we're coming up from Saltfleet...

(I’m a bit out of the parkrun loop). Also the first time getting barcode scanned by the app, and the scanner said she thought it worked better than the scanners and also scanned barcodes on phone screens.

MazH Apr 2019 2:01pm, 15 Apr 2019 10,236 posts	Quote Pin MazH i think when it's time to renew, then it's blue ones you get Meg.... thankfully not mandatory! I agree tho, the app works well and you can see, there's no doubting you've done it
larkim Apr 2019 2:06pm, 15 Apr 2019 7,227 posts	Quote Pin larkim The first time I encountered the app in use I just presumed the team took photos of the barcodes as some sort of backup, so ended up being scanned by the app and then scanned by the "normal" scanners. One reason why it always seems to make sense to me for the scanner to physically take the position barcode from me, rather than leave it to me to return somewhere else.

jda Apr 2019 2:25pm, 15 Apr 2019 4,282 posts	Quote Pin jda DM, Harrogate is nice when the ground is dry, which is probably the case now. 3 flat laps of half grass/dirt half tarmac, wide enough for mostly easy overtaking. Quickest course of my usual haunts, you can park locally and it's not too far to walk into town afterwards. I'll be there not this weekend but probably next.
