ALC runners at Rosliston parkrun

A couple of us at the Conkers meet went over to the nearby Rosliston parkrun. We had previously run the Conkers parkrun next door and one of us needed a letter “R” for our alphabet. One of the most popular parkrun challenges is attending a parkrun starting with every letter of the alphabet except X. 
We were so lucky as it turned out to be their Xmas parkrun event and there were numerous runners dressed up as Santa Claus, etc. In addition there was the Rolls Royce Brass Band to entertain us with carols.

It was a lovely trail course, up and down through the woods, and even “the swamp” was not as swampy as we had been told to expect!
We weren’t very fast but that didn’t matter, we had enjoyed a run with lovely, friendly people and the hot chocolate from the cafe afterwards was delicious!
