Renaissance woman. Likes physics, politics, painting, parkrun and perfect pop. And other things that don’t begin with p. And not necessarily in that order.
Sitting on a pontoon jetty, feet cooling nicely in Loch Lomond. This is very close to paradise. (And I have a bar of tablet for later) #lochlomond #westhighlandway #rowardennanhotel

Currently hurtling from Glasgow to London - passed these an hour or so ago. I think they add a beautiful and practical elegance to a landscape already tamed for housing, roads, trains and farming. Annoying Truss and Trump is a bonus.

Cuningar Loop #parkrun. The RD shouted “GO!” And the heavens opened. Torrential rain for the first km; puddles and general sogginess for the remainder. A lovely event - will definitely return, but in better weather!

Lochend Woods #parkrun in Dunbar. A 2-lapper, each lap a lap of two halves. One an energy-sapping plod round the playing fields, the other a glorious soft trail run through the woods. Lovely friendly volunteers. Not my best effort - it was a bit hot.

Løvstien parkrun in Bergen. I’ve previously described various UK courses as brutal, but this is *really brutal*. OTOH, stunning views, and a lovely welcoming community. Before and after pics. The after more than ever a “proof of life” pic. #loveparkrun #parkrun

Avoided the congested start of @rickmansworthparkrun by popping over to @cassioburyparkrun. A lovely run in the sun to mark the 17th anniversary of my first run @bushyparkrun. Who’da thunk I’d still be plodding on after so long?!. #loveparkrun #parkrunuk

Headed to Erskine Waterfront for today’s #parkrun -perfect conditions, a lovely setting, fab volunteers and very nearly but not quite a CYPB. A good parkrunday!

Worthing parkrun, with some of the Running Sisters - Sun, sea, pebbles and a bitter Siberian wind. Busy parkrun, loads of marshals, simple out and back course along the prom. #parkrunuk #loveparkrun

Valentines parkrun. A nice, flat, 2-lapper. Though much as I love parkrun tourism, I’m not convinced organised coach loads of 100+ are a good thing.

A visit to Linford Wood parkrun. A lovely mud-free, one-lap course. The undulations and a rogue shoelace beat me. #parkrunuk

Popped down to Mole Valley parkrun today. Positives: sunshine, lovely volunteers, great views. Negatives: slippy mud, sucky mud, hills, more mud, more hills, the view of my mud-encrusted trail shoes slipping on the mud. Feel I should get bonus points for doing it in January. #parkrunuk

Beautiful day for a parkrun. Though temperatures, shoelaces, lungs and legs conspired to slow me down. (Plus ça change…) #parkrunuk

A lucky start to 2025 - not only was #rickmansworth #parkrunuk ON, the rain held off. A breezy one, setting what I hope is an eminently beatable baseline for the year.

#parkrun voluntourism today - cheering on 163 runners & walkers at #linwoodparkrun. Grey & dreich, but not actually raining. Wish I’d remembered my gloves though!

Merry Christmas! My 14th Christmas #parkrun and 13th visit to Linwood. 193 cheerful runners and walkers and a gang of wonderful volunteers. And it didn’t rain!

A brief visit North so popped along to Linwood parkrun. Alt course which apparently “naebody likes - but still an improvement on the current Rickmansworth alt course. A touch more wiggly variety at Linwood! #parkrunuk

Y Promenâd parkrun, Aberhonddu. Mainly flat (apart from the two bits that really aren’t), two laps, gorgeous scenery even in the mizzle. Hadn’t expected the other 100 or so tourists though…

More side benefits of #parkruntourism: not quite the walk I’d planned for today, but probably the right walk for the weather & views

A lunch stop at the National Arboretum at Westonbirt. Gorgeous autumnal, immense trees. Side benefits of #parkruntourism.

I went to see the Tree yesterday, a long overdue visit. Isn’t it gorgeous?
