V-Weekend Part 0





...out of 136

Montacute is a spectacular venue for parkrun. The house was featured in "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" and the grounds are full of lime-lined-avenues. Almost the whole course is on grass and a there lots of (potentially) muddly dips, tight turns and a sting-in-the-tail climb up to the finish - it is a slow course - no good for PBs but ideal for orienteers.





I am injured was going to take it easy but when you find yourself in this position after 1km... red mist

Hot, Humid and still...



 
This year in Bournville it is 11th July - earliest so far.  I guess we have had mostly warm/hot weather for the past several weeks or perhaps these flying ants are a different species
