Saturday 15 May 2021 - parkrunners at Wythenshawe

Whilst (not)parkruns continue - I'm up to number 327 - the official parkruns, that were allowed to start in March but were postponed until 5 June, look as if they will be further delayed by landowners failing to provide the necessary approvals.

With so many other liberties about to be restored to us on Monday, it seems crazy that a few runners aren't allowed to get together relatively informally for a Saturday morning run, jog or walk.

A small group of us continue to meet up at the venue of our 'home' run, Wythenshawe. It's a complete mystery to me as to why approval hasn't been given here, whereas it has been given to nearby (and more congested) Stretford. Especially as I would guess that the landowner in each case is Manchester City Council.

But who am I to know about these things? At least our local parkrunner fraternity is standing firm and trying to support each other in these difficult times.

Thanks go to Jenny and Owen for providing today's excellent cake.
