Bright sunshine, clear blue skies and a gentle, cool breeze made up for the downpour we had to put up with last week at Princes. I made it to Lancaster after last week\u2019s aborted attempt, and was rewarded with a hilly parkrun through Williamson Park and adjoining Fenham Carr woodland.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The normal route starts and finishes behind The Ashton Memorial in the centre of the park. This is the building you can see on the hill as you\u2019re driving past Lancaster on the M6. However, parkrun\u2019s Covid-19 framework requires more space at the start and finish so the current route starts and finishes at the bottom of the Memorial steps. Even though the weather has been dry recently there was still a muddy stretch through Fenham Carr and I was grateful to have remembered my trail shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I bumped into a couple of North West parkrun tourists &#8211; Paul Hawgood and Jan Lee &#8211; who had stopped off at Lancaster on their way to the Lake District for the week. They are excited to be heading down to Bushy Park in London next weekend to run at the place where parkrun started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/grahamholland\/posts\/10158752563496275\" data-width=\"552\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<a style=\"display:inline-block;background-color:#FC4C02;color:#fff;padding:5px 10px 5px 30px;font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;white-space:nowrap;text-decoration:none;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:10px center;border-radius:3px;background-image:url('http:\/\/badges.strava.com\/logo-strava-echelon.png')\" href=\"http:\/\/strava.com\/athletes\/9681964\/badge\" target=\"_clean\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n  Follow me on\n  <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/badges.strava.com\/logo-strava.png?resize=51%2C13\" alt=\"Strava\" style=\"margin-left:2px;vertical-align:text-bottom\" height=\"13\" width=\"51\">\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n<iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/5864951340\/embed\/8f0adeb36fa4e6d7efb1d90ee2d755c03844bf16'><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>parkrunday 28th August 2021 parkrun #120 \u2013 Lancaster Different event #67 Time: 30:37 What a glorious morning for a parkrun!
