🌳 A group of lovely GoodGymmers from York, Leeds and Huddersfield assembled at Chevin parkrun for a beautifully scenic parkrun on a pleasant morning. Steve provided some early morning giggles by arriving in odd shoes (hence the pun) 👟

🏔️ Everyone tackled the hill (twice) with great aplomb and did a sterling job on a muddy and bumpy course. The odd shoes didn't seem to hinder Steve as he snuck in just ahead of Egg 🤫

☕🍰Post-parkrun, we went for coffee and cake/breakfast and were lucky enough to have the top floor of the cafe to ourselves. After that, we wandered up to Surprise View. There was much discussion of whether the nature/extent of the surprise was enough to warrant the name. After some scrambling on the rocks, Egg led the group on a lovely return route via the woods 🌲

🙌 Thank you for a lovely morning everyone, let me know if you've got any suggestions for future parkrun tourism - Knaresborough, Temple Newsam and maybe even Whitby are currently on the cards 🏃‍♀️🏃

Having volunteered myself elsewhere today through sheer ineptitude I applaud the use of 'aplomb' above! ^
