The name of the game for this weeks Parkini challenge was indeed, as you have guessed by now, Scrabble.

Since that is a board game, some of the standard rules had to be amended a little to make it fit the Parkini requirements - go out & about and take pictures/selfies with items to complete the challenge set!

This slacking of the rules resulted in a wide variety of words - some were build from letters found on the way, other runners went out with a word in mind and the challenge to find the letters to suit it. Some of the entries received:

  • Quizzically
  • Waist
  • Squeezable
  • Medals (very appropriate for the Goodgym Games!)
  • Quartz
  • Oxyphenbutazone
  • Razzmatazz
  • Parkinsonism
  • Quixotry
  • Ventriloquized

Apologies from Jenny & Julia, against all good intentions life got in the way this weekend.

Using the normal scoring method, 3 entries went over 40 points! Only one can have top score though.... thanks to all the zzzz, Dharmesh wins with Razmatazz!

Next weeks Parkini challenge is yet to be confirmed - let's see who's name comes out of the hat...

P.S.... I have the feeling some pics have gone astray - apologies if you spot one missing!
