:) Yes, it was a first for me on a parkrun, although I do have a story about running and bening very aware of brown snakes in the vicinity. And on one of the runs on this trip we did have to avoid a red-bellied black snake in the road: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-bellied_black_snake
Snakes are not something we get warned about in UK parkruns, although there are a few in some of the more rural locations - but they are very shy. The biggest risk is dog poo in the park!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it Phil, it was a lovely location and quite challenging too :). The rain was a bit of a surprise, but they've been getting a lot of that in eastern Australia recently. We drove along past the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers for a while where there was still a lot of flooding.
Thank you, Scott :) You have a lovely, friendly atmosphere and it was such a pleasure (once all the hills were done) to have spent our time with you all. We enjoyed our breakfast at the café there too :D
Well done Simon and Louise! Fabulous views as well. Watch out for snakes….. 🐍. Not a warning I’ve heard on a Park Run before! 😂

I had seen a snake on the course once ( the old course) when I did a freedom run once.

@@NERunner you will never have a issue with dog dropping at our parkrun as dogs are not allowed

@@NERunner yeah it looked just my type of course...I MUST make the effort of getting to a few of my local park runs! 🏃♂️ 🏃♂️ 🏃♂️
It's easy to get out of the habit of going to them. It took me a year after it returned after lockdown to get back to one!!!
Thank you Simon for coming to our parkrun. Look forward to seeing you out there again.

@@NERunner I was not there on that day but glad you lived after running our 2 hills😉
They were fine, all in a day's work and added to the course "personality" - it's one of the things that makes running special 🙂
21 degrees is not that warm? An interesting statement. Also, what a lovely parrot at the end
It's not that warm in an Australian summer, Fred. It's really just room temperature so it doesn't feel hot or cold when you're outside :)
great video , guess you wont be doing the XC on Saturday :)
Thanks Andrew, I certainly will be running it :) Not sure I'll bring my GoPro on this occasion though. Are you going to be there?
@@NERunner yes I will be their , see you their ( Gateshead harrier}
Dreaming of 21 degress here 😂
Thanks for watching, Stu. Now we're back in the UK Louise and I are too. At least it's not dark at 4pm now 😊
