A bumper parkrun edition, including a first-finisher, some PBs, plenty of parkrun tourism and first-timers, including a report from Temple Newsam.
Andy Wilkinson was again the first person over the line at Coventry – the 3rd time in the last 5 Coventry parkruns – well done, Andy. Paul Slatford followed up last week’s 250th parkrun with a PB this week and there was also a PB for Imran Ali; well done, Paul and Imran.
parkrun tourism saw the Timms at Temple Newsam, the Halletts at Poole, Alex Bartlett at Alice Holt and Jayne Phelps at Aberystwyth.
The Timms sent in the following report from Temple Newsam:
First time at this Park Run for Jackie and myself and it was an absolute delight. Temple Newsam is a Tudor-Jacobean house with grounds landscaped by Capability Brown, in Leeds. The estate lies to the east of the city, just south of Halton Moor. The two-lap course took you along paths and trails throughout the grounds, with a steep slope up to the main house to start; this is followed by a rapid descent, before returning on a gradual climb to the start line for a second lap. Stunning views throughout and picturesque countryside made this a really pleasurable run. The run was all the more enjoyable because we ran it with our daughter, Katie and her partner Tom Padgett, who unbeknown to me, have both been doing the NHS Couch to 5K course

This was their first ever Park Run and they both achieved a very respectable time on a tough course. Definitely one to do again.
