Following a slightly chilly Tampere parkrun on Saturday, an early plogging session was called for on Sunday. 8am Finnish start time, 6am UK time might make this one of the earliest GoodGym group runs but we were rewarded with beautiful waterfront forest running, quite a lot of elevation and the best day of the Finnish spring with leaves bursting from lots of the trees which had been bare the previous day.

A quick stop at the Angry Birds theme park and a run back past the hydro electric construction before showers and coffee.

Well done Rosemary on your first GoodGym group run, and welcome to Bristol, Tom ;-) May they be firsts of many!
