What a wonderful way to spend the day after Christmas – The Furnace Inn Fun Run. So its 1 degree as we make our way down to Darley Abbey Park, the Furnace Inn to be precise, a welcoming pub located on the edge of the park. The start time is 11am, enter on day. The […]
Darley Abbey ParkRun #42
I have renamed this run the Darley Abbey Cross Country Run for it was not your average Parkrun. I was down in Derby for my best friends’ birthday so what better way to celebrate it than to run around a park, a proper park with proper grass and proper mud and proper squelch. This was […]
