As we were going for a walk nearby, Sue and I took the opportunity to get a bit of early exercise and ‘bag’ a parkrun on this rainy day.
We arrived at Hassop in rain and sheltered in the café’s vast awning before making our way to the start in what was to prove a welcome pause in the deluge.
It’s the first time I’ve seen unicycles on a parkrun!
Whilst I was somewhat encumbered by pessimistic waterproofs, Sue had stripped off to her normal running garb and finished just behind me, proudly announcing that she had overtaken someone just near the finish. Yes, that was a 70+ year old lady, Sue, who should be congratulated on getting very close to 26 minutes for 5 km!
Whilst it’s called ‘Bakewell parkrun’ the route actually starts at Hassop Station, to the north of Bakewell, and heads west along the Monsal Trail for 2.5 km, before returning the same way. The trail is wide enough to cater for a few hundred participants.
All very jolly. A shame we had to dash off. Full results are here.
