    I attempt to use the M1 Motorway Services at Tibshelf, as a stop off and refresh point as part of my weekend long run. See how that pans out...

    120 miles to even get to my nearest motorway but I have run through the forest to the ashgrove garage for an ice cream! Looking forward to benches/seats! Angela

      That would be a long way to go for a Mars Bar! I'd definitely stick with the garage ice creams 😁👍

    Brilliant! I had images of Alan Partridge as you were wafting through the long grass..."GOLDFINGER!"

      haha! I googled that clip, and it did look familiar lol. Such a cold finger... :)

    Your pit stop adventure was a blast to watch, Mark! The idea of hitting up a motorway service mid-run for a snack and drink - brilliant! It's like a pit stop in a Formula 1 race but with more chocolate bars, hehe. Looking forward to your bench and seat video idea!

    • @markg99

      Thanks mate 👍 The pit stop and chocolate were great, compared to the nettles and weeds especially! I think I'll go the easy route next time 😄

    Always a good idea to put in a pit stop to a long run Mark. Especially in these warmer conditions. Maybe the motorway service station was a bit too extravagant but I guess they had some fast food options there that could have been handy. Keep up the great work mate. Looks forward to the bench video. 🤣👍

      Yes I could call in for lunch next time, get some burgers and fries 🍟 😋 The bench video should be a laugh if nothing else! Thanks a lot mate 👍 😁

    Brilliant idea. I miss those roadway service stations in England and Scotland. They were great. But yes expensive. Still a good idea for a run.

      Thanks! I keep forgetting you've spent time over here. Although people like to poke fun at the service stations, including the prices, we'd be lost without them.

    You do some daft things Mark. Loved the "still get change from a £50 note". Another great idea for a video mate.

    • @markg99

      I think I'm quite happy with my reputation for doing daft things 😂 Thanks for pointing it out mate!

    Looking forward to your bench antics 😂😂 Nice video as always to watch, thank you

      Haha! I have no idea how the bench video will turn out :D I'm hoping for some inspiration on the day lol. Thanks for watching mate!

    Ive stopped at Tibshelf a few times. My local one is Corley services on the M6. Have stopped there on my bike a few times.

    • @markg99
      @markg99  2 місяці тому +1

      Ah, you're a bit of a service station connoisseur then, Stu! I don't think I'll be running to Corley any time soon :) I should have bought a bike with actual wheels!

    Such a shame the 'Running to a Motorway Service Station' is going to end as a one-off niche episode. It had legs, as it were
    Eagerly awaiting the 'Random Benches in North Derbyshire' series

    • @markg99
      @markg99  2 місяці тому +1

      Yes, the Service Station series was certainly cut off in its prime, sadly! The next actual motorway one nearest to me is Woodhall, just over a half marathon away. I'd be ready for a drink by then 😂
      The benches idea could go either way. I'm not sure whether I'm excited or dreading it... I'm sure it'll be a laugh if nothing else.

    Terrible idea if it takes you through uncleared paths.

    • @markg99

      Yes, I've had my fill of the overgrown routes now. I'll be avoiding them like the plague for the rest of the summer. I've ordered some more road shoes to keep me on the tarmac a bit more. Legs were itching like mad during this one.
