shoebox Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Haha! I'm stinky enough at a festival, without getting all sweaty on a run. As much as I will miss a good Saturday wakener, I think I'll give it a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverlodge Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 'livener' has different connotations for me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atanarjuat Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Nearest parkrun is 8 miles away at Blandford Forum. I suspect there will be a few (including myself) escaping festival site for a couple of hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See this does sound stupidly tempting, I just really don't want to have to bother with using the showers afterwards and carting running gear to the festival with me. I'm in two minds!

Dylan's Big Toe Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 In 2015 I was training for the Berlin marathon when End of the Road was happening and I somehow managed to get up early squeeze in a 19 mile run on the Saturday morning! It was actually a really great run, through the local villages and some woodland, then back to camp, quick shower, a bacon butty and a bloody mary ?

dmitarberbatov Posted August 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 The near by park run is out of the question as I’m coming from afar in the train but a local village jog could be v tempting . I’m staying in a tee pee so showers not a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie B Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'd probably be up for a run, if not actually visiting the BF Parkrun. It's a beautiful site, I'm sure we could do something nicer than a few laps of the car park - I'll fire up google earth later and see if I can plan a route!

Charlie B Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Don't know if this link will work, but there's a pretty simple route around the car parks and camping, starting and finishing at the end of the drive.. The file should open in Google Earth End of the Road Parkrun.kmz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardy Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 One of our party has, for the last few years, disapppeared off into Blanford to do the Park Run on the Saturday morning. Comes back feeling all righteous and virtuous to find we've been on the Bloody Marys/pints of fizzy lager since before breakfast and are frankly, giggling like idiots at anything and everything. He's always slightly disappointed at our lack of reverence/admiration for his efforts. Fair play to him though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also training for Berlin in 2015, but at Green Man Festival and I did a hilly 20 miles early on the Sunday morning. Was not fun dragging my arse out of the tent for that one.

Charlie B Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 We’re heading out at nine from the ticket exchange point if anyone does make it up... We will be easy to spot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie B Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Well three of us made it out and blew the cobwebs away! We managed a nice route around the car parks and camping fields. I was thinking of getting in touch with EOTR before next years festival and see if we can sort out something more official. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
