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!

They are fed up with being told 'you can't do that, urine the city'

Video of a typical start to a Scottish parkrun ;-)

m.youtube.com

The author, Douglas Mason, has videos made at nearly all Scottish parkruns, mix of general, aerial and drone footage - well worth a look. I was at the event featured here, at Plean: one of the wilder Scottish parkruns.

Or at the chasm in Pazin, Croatia,



Although it wasn't clear whether it was the crouching down part that was banned.

It's most likely the hands free, body thrust forward approach that's not allowed?

Can we please all take a moment to admire larkim's "mustard" quip on the last page.

And Mike's "urine" one above.

Looked at the pic from Croatia and thought "that's ambitious".

Another parkrun video: one of my fairly regular running patches at the University of Stirling: it's beautiful :-) I even watched it on big telly rather than the tablet, to fully appreciate it. Lots of aerial footage.

There's also an annual race up you hill at the back, which quite a few Fetchies (not me!) will have done.
