A new venue for me and Geth yesterday!
Auldcathie District is a relatively new parkrun to the west of Edinburgh, having started last year (I think). I wanted to tick off one more new-to-me parkrun event before the end of the year, and it’s as quick to get to as any of the parkruns closer into town (given that they all require driving from Morningside… I will forever live in hope of a parkrun starting up within short walking distance of my childhood home).
When we arrived in the park (which was only built a couple of years ago as part of the new estate) I wasn’t sure how much character it would have. However, this turned out to be a GREAT parkrun. The new tarmac paths are lovely to run on, there are a few mild inclines but nothing major, and while we were taking it easy yesterday (30ish mins) we both agreed it could be a nice fast course if you were giving it a go.
Another new-to-me event planned for New Year’s Day, as we’ll be back in Newcastle for New Year!
