With grey skies and persistent rain the cycle bit of our duathlon was abandoned BUT we were not to be defeated!!

SKIN IS WATERPROOF

The numbers at Abingdon parkrun were, unsurprisingly, a little lower than usual but that meant that the usually rather congested start flowed nicely.

The conditions were damp and muggy, and by the end we all weren't sure where the sweat ended and the raindrops began.

After a photo with the sign (did the tourism even happen if there isn't a sign photo?!?) we headed off for a very well earned hot drink and breakfast and future tourism planning.

Well done everyone for coming and special back slaps and high fives to Kieran for his 100th parkrun!

This evening we returned to Oxsrad! This time no painting was done - the reception area is looking SPLENDID, if we do say so ourselves.....

Today we were based outside clearing and widening some of their pathways which were becoming rather weedy and therefore not particularly safe for wheelchair users.

After an hour and a bit and some inventive tool use - (who knew tent pegs were so good for removing pesky weed roots?!?) we left the area looking much neater and clearer.

Well done team!! And thanks for the company on the run!
