Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

No need for you to apologise Fetch, can't help boring spamming.

Just in case it’s misinterpreted, my comment was about the spammer.

Thats definitely possible. He is more able than he used to be though. When I first became aware of him he wouldnt have been able to get there or participate unaided. He can now.

Looking for advice if there are any fetchies from Southampton here. Will be staying at the Leonardo’s hotel and looking to do a parkrun before we board ship. Is it far from the port? TIA

Just over 2 miles LG, so probably a taxi?


Although if you were running or walking, this is the route I'd take


I've never run it, so I can't comment on it's appeal or sociability, as you probably know, I prefer the open forest!

When are you coming down?

It's a nice, easy walk, LG. Like you, I've done the parkrun before a cruise twice. (We were staying at the Ibis near Ikea & the train station.) There a quite a few locals walk to the parkrun, too, so it's easy to follow them as you get nearer to the Common. The parkrun itself is busy on narrow paths so it's important to choose your starting point as it's not easy to get past people. Very friendly crowd, though, as you normally find around the country.
As for getting to your ship - I was £7 in a taxi from the ship to the train station last time we cruised from Southampton, so not far at all.
