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!

Anyone done Linwood Parkrun? Is there changing facilities nearby? Thinking of it this weekend en route elsewhere?

Hi Ally, it's at a sport centre that I haven't been in but it looks likely that you could get changed in there.

I've been in and used the changing after at Linwood. About 200m from start/finish. I think you are officially meant to be using the centre but ... ;-). Just walk in past the desk, so many coming and going no-one is checking - actually if you asked if you could I would be extremely surprised if they said no.

You can also wander onto the synthetic track as well and do a few laps as well, gates open, no-one around.

Hill running royalty? Killian Journet and Emily Forsberg are excellent mountain runners. Royalty are pointless tabloid fodder doing very little at our expense ;-).

Oops, bang goes my chance of a knighthood.

I got my leg stuck in a waist deep bog about 20 minutes into my walk up Ben Lui (and it's neighbour) a month or so back. Made the next 6 hours pretty miserable!

In between the sunshine though, zp ;-)?

I like Linwood too, fastest recent times were there. Did you use the changing, Ally-C?

(Last year at Linwood, after changing I ended up at 'spoons in Paisley* for breakfast (after looking at the Linwood café menu and comparing what I'd get for my money) then cycled to Kilbirnie and back along the old railway. Parkrun tourism tourism. I was buckled by the end, mind.)

*as will over 1000 runners tomorrow.
