    We headed East to check out one of the newer local events; Ancholme Valley Way parkrun. We almost didn't make it there as Poppy had a horrible reaction to a bee sting but we made it and mostly walked round with little bits of running when Poppy felt able. It was a glorious morning and we had a wonderful time on the Ancholme Valley Way in the sunshine! A flat, fast, out-and-back on the river path which is stunning in the sunshine!
    It's a parkrun I'd definitely recommend. In terms of practicalities there is plenty of free parking in Brigg... as well as plenty of public transport options that make this parkrun easy to get to. There are toilets in Tesco (for customers) or public toilets in Brigg. There are tons of lovely cafes to choose from and if you go on market day then you can spend the rest of your morning having a lovely wander around. The parkrun team are brilliant, and super friendly and welcoming, so I'd recommend joining them in The Steel Rooms for your post parkrun coffee and cake.
    We're so pleased we visited as we had such a great time. Huge thanks to the team at Ancholme Valley Way parkrun for making us feel at home at your parkrun. Isn't parkrunworld incredible?!
    Happy running,
    Nicola :)

    Reminds me of the Fossdyke near Lincoln. Same sort of path and views. Lovely. You can't beat a gentle run on crunchy ground in the summer under a clear blue sky!

    Hurrah for walking parkrun! An underrated pleasure that most parkrunners never experience. The more of your videos I see the more I think Poppy's got life pretty much sorted 🙂

      Awwww that girl is honestly awesome. I'm so lucky as she's just the best adventure companion ever 💕👩‍👧 the weather definitely helped but it's amazing the pressure you can take off yourself by saying"I'm walking". All of a sudden Poppy wasn't worried about her leg anymore and she did actually end up running bits... but knowing you can just go to enjoy a walk is really wonderful 🏃‍♀️ just one of the reasons parkrun is so awesome! 😍

    It looks so beautiful there. You were really lucky with that incredible blue sky too. I agree with how lovely it is to have children who have been brought up as part of the parkrun family. Well done Poppy!

      We were ridiculously lucky with the weather 😍 awww honestly Poppy's cheering makes me so proud of her but is also hilarious as she'll shout "I believe in you" and things like that to the super fast runners who I think might find some of the things she says weird but I honestly think they're amazing! It's so great to learn to be supportive of others at such a young age and to learn the power of positivity and what we can do with our words 🥰👩‍👧

      A) finish the race
      B) not in last place
      C) run all the bits that aren’t uphill (and I even ran some of the hills)
      The usp for this one is you run through a stream. Will I do it again when it’s back in its usual February slot? The jury’s still out.
