Unfortunately, Jo broke down on the M62 on Friday and had to be towed back to Liverpool, so Plan A got cancelled. As Robert Burns said \u201cThe best laid schemes o&#8217; mice an&#8217; men \/ Gang aft a-gley.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Plan B I decided to go to Bramhall parkrun near Stockport. I\u2019d done this course relatively recently (February 2020) but chose it because it\u2019s one of the Manchester events that Jo hadn\u2019t done. I also picked it because I knew Danny Norman &#8211; host of the podcast With Me Now &#8211; would be there. He\u2019s trying to visit all ten of the original Time Trial locations (the events that existed before the name was changed to parkrun). After today he only has Albert parkrun in Middlesborough left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a lovely course through the grounds of Bramall (no \u2018h\u2019) Hall, through woods, and along the river. The course includes the infamous \u2018Duck Poo Corner\u2019 which was somewhat lacking in duck poo this time round. Jo and I joined Danny and some other tourists (and podcast listeners) in the courtyard outside the cafe afterward where we enjoyed vegan sausage buns and hot drinks, while having a good natter (or \u2018parkfaff\u2019 as it\u2019s known).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only disappointing thing about the morning was when we noticed them packing up the finish funnel before the last parkrunner had finished. This should not happen at any parkrun, and there\u2019s no excuse for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next Friday I\u2019m driving down to Birmingham for the With Me Now Pow Wow and will be running Oaklands parkrun on Saturday. The last one at Disley, Loughborough, was lots of fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>p.s. I&#8217;m now half way to claiming my 250 t-shirt! Just two and a half years left to go!<\/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\/pfbid0ot38KD83drQvEu6UvZEmKdWtMB22XePBPKiTC2F3eM6Fbmvk6eAZeRCoWvV8sCoAl\" 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<div class=\"strava-embed-placeholder\" data-embed-type=\"activity\" data-embed-id=\"6085459937\"><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/strava-embeds.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday after work I should have been driving up to Penny Bridge near Ulverston in Cumbria to stay in Jo\u2019s cottage then run her Cumbrian home parkrun &#8211; Fell Foot &#8211; with her today.
