Fulwell Quarry parkrun has been my NENDY for a good eighteen months or so since it launched. When ticking off local parkruns, I prefer to drive north rather than crossing the Tyne (the Saturday morning traffic is generally easier). However, I felt it was about time to start making some inroads into Sunderland, so over the river I went this morning.
It stayed dry for the parkrun but was damp and muddy underfoot (a lot of the surface is grass and trail). I had a vague progression on the plan so held back a little for the first lap while learning the route and stepped up the pace a little for the second. Lots of hills though so not an easy course at all!
Back on more familiar ground next week.
