New parkrun at Alnwick I see next to the castle, might have a drive up. All on grass so will be like a mini xcountry.
Think it’s back next week. Seems the route stays fairly close, finishes at the same place @Mackem00

Whitley Bay changing the route from this weekend. Primarily due to the high numbers getting there meaning the finish on the links was getting too busy.... Getting over 500 regularly each week now.

Did you do it Yesterday ? How was it ? Loved the previous route despite it being consistently too long

It was good although measured just short but can't complain as it is free and run by volunteers . Another 500+ turnout.
My wife is on the core parkrun group that runs it and says they had no option but to move it due to the numbers and the fact there were runners climbing onto the golden bridge when it was water logged before Xmas.
Hopefully when Blyth starts up it may take the numbers away

What's the latest with the Blyth run ? Haven't heard anything for a while although I gather BRC were holding their 'deposit' for them.

Still thinks its way off, though they do now have funds to start the parkrun

Still only done it the once but thinking of going again this Saturday. Did the route last night and got under 26, so think I can get under 25 again by Saturday.
Reckon I could get down to about 21 by the summer if I manage to shed the extra stone I’m carrying round.

Slept in this morning and missed the shields one, but just done 6 miles. Slowly but surely building up the miles in my legs and the body fat is starting to come off.

Good man.
I've just joined a running club this week and determined to get out 3 or 4 times a week even if only a 5k before or after work. Take off half a stone, cut down on the booze and improve my mood.
Running is great

Great loss that, need a stone off by may for the marathon but seem to lose it very slowly these days.
The running is helping me a lot mentally too, had to go back on anxiety pills a few months ago but off them again now for about a month and put it down to more exercise.
