Saturday 26 August 2023 - Fletcher Moss parkrun #170

Wythenshawe Park was again blighted by the paraphernalia of an outdoor concert, so Sue and I drove to Mike's house in Didsbury and walked into the nearby park to the start of the Fletcher Moss parkrun. Andy, another refugee from Wythenshawe, as well as Paul and Jeanette, joined us on an overcast morning.

There are 'Pride' celebrations going on, and banners were being erected. It was the first time I've seen a Run Director arrive with step ladders!

 

Mike and Isabella turned up, and I think Mike may be tempted to push her round the course next time.

The two lap course takes a selection of paths in the Mersey Valley next to the fleshpots of Didsbury. The paths are wide, so there was plenty of space for all 313 participants. No records were broken by our little clique, though I notice that Jackie Cordingly set a challenging 'over 60' time last week and was only a few seconds off that this week.

Full results are here.

Afterwards we adjourned for coffee and cake at Didsbury Park, where there are playthings for Isabella (see next posting).

What a lovely way to start the weekend.
