First parkrun in almost exactly 1 year today (parkwalked at Monsal Trail on 30 march 2024!). Hilly at Lancaster but very beautiful with great organisation and friendly volunteers all the way around, especially the man in the wildly colourful shorts!

Catching up on last weekend's adventure before moving on to this one. Wandered around Helmsley Castle on the Sunday (waddled in Nick's case!).

10 hours 30 mins to run 53 miles up hill and down dale, across moors, through villages, all with no head torch needed at the end. 36th male finisher out of a field of 270 odd. From Guisborough to Helmsley along the Cleveland Way. Epic.

Final checkpoint passed, 9 mi to finish at White Horse. I think that unless he pours some extra speed on he is looking at 10 hrs 25 mins or so. I think it's a foregone conclusion that he will not need his head torch though! Winning!

I'm doing something a little different...

He's made it through the next to last check point before the finish at 39 miles, Sneck Point. I'm no mathematician, but I think he's on target for 10 hours if the next 14 miles go as well.

I did a walk too...not quite as tough.

First drop bag check point (I believe) at Clay Bank (unless he used Kildale). He's about 20 miles and I'd hazard to say he is running at less than 4 hrs marathon pace at this rate. He's a bloody machine!

Now for a nice cup of tea before I go on my own little adventure!

And he's done the second check point at Kildale Village Hall. I think he's making good time. At this rate I won't have enough time to get in trouble!

I'm lying in the hotel bed and he's already run up a small mountain! Hit Roseberry Topping in 1.08.55. first checkpoint done! Go number 287!

I'm off for some breakfast and a coffee...

And he's off! Nick has begun his 53 mile ultra across part of north Yorkshire, aptly called the Hardmoors 55. Hoping to finish the run from Guisborough Rugby Club to Helmsley along the Cleveland Way in 10 hours so he doesn't need his head torch. Everyone needs a goal! #hardmoors #ultrarunning

Frank Turner's 3000th show at Alley Palley. Epic. Mosh pit. Punk riot. Sweating. Screaming. Singing. What a show! I do hope I have a voice for my lecture tomorrow morning!

A few London skyline pics on our walk from the Tate to London Bridge through Southwark, with a stop at the World's End for an IPA and loaded nachos along the way.

London Day 3: the Tate Modern with Kate while Carolyn took a tour of Highgate Cemetery to commune with dead things. We saw a Hard Light interactive exhibition and had a wander through a few other galleries before heading over to the flat near Alexandra Palace for the gig. #moderart #londontourism

Didn't want to run. Glad I did. Amble round Darley Park at sunset. Worth the mist to see one heck of a rainbow. Of course the camera never does it justice. #slowrunnersclub #couch25k #rainbow #slowafrunning #sticktotheplan

Warm salad if fried tofu, broccoli, cauliflower, courgette with a miso sauce and rice noodles by Delicious Feb 2014. Two more meals from this one! #foodporn #healthycooking #weekendcooking

Southwestern Salad by Bosh. Sorts my lunches out the next two days too. The dressing was 2 avocados with lime, soy milk, Thai basil (in place of coriander which is the devil's herb) a green chilli and I added a bit of cumin and smoked paprika to increase the Mexican vibe. #foodporn #weekendcooking
