Thank you! I enjoyed this video very much. It brought me such nostalgic feelings. I spent my early childhood in Whitley Bay, before emigrating to Australia with my family. I learnt to walk on that beach. Now in my 60’s, I’m a Parkrun devotee in Tasmania. It’s my dream to one day return and run along that beach front where the childhood me once played. Life moves on so quickly, so get out and run!😊

Hey Grant, What a lovely review, and a cool channel! My friend linked it and I thought I would come say hello, I was the vegan runner you overtook who was struggling just toward the end on the last long hill. I really appreciated your encouragement that day, it was a hard one. I definitely agree with you about pacing-this was my first time doing Chevin and I wanted to do Craig proud-as I shot up that first steep hill way too fast and was just trying to recover the whole way round. I did really enjoy the route though, and was surprised how busy it was. Vegan Runners are having a very large memorial on the 29th at Woodhouse Moor, not sure how far it is to travel for you, but if you wanted to join us we would be love to have you. Theme is shades and headband. I think you said you had seen a lot of people posting about him online though, so you probably saw my video explaining it. All the best, Jes 💚🖤

Thanks Eliot!! Always a fiend for the cake haha. Ashbourne isn’t tooonfar from me ☺️ but it’s typical that this weekend I’m heading north for Edinburgh half marathon 😂🙃 thanks for letting me know though. I’m A teacher so hopefully during my summer holidays I can venture further south!
Nice review Grant as always. Ran here in October and many other events in area had been 'rained' off but strangely despite it been very very boggy on grass, and it also been 'charity takeover day ' by local running club so numbers double usual, it went ahead. - so in my opinion if conditions are wet and grass is soft definitely trail shoes
Thanks Andrew, really appreciated! That’s good for people to know about the trail shoe situation, it definitely seemed like that would be the case. I was lucky to get away with a dry week and road shoes on this occasion.
That’s your first 10/10 for a cafe from what I’ve seen. Probably most welcomed as that run looked super hot and toasty. Great job with the coverage as usual Grant 😊
Haha very observant! It was a lovely spot, I need to keep track of the scores I give for cafes.. this week was also very very solid 😊 Thank you, Jim! I hope you enjoyed your run this weekend.
My PB course. Never to be repeated anywhere 😢
You’ll definitely crack a PB again! Heslington is a quick course.. 👀
Another great video Grant! This is one of my favourite parkruns, so I'm really glad you reviewed it. It's the only one I have done that wasn't in the North East, and it's a lot of fun.
Cheers Jon! It is brilliant isn’t it. Must’ve been great this weekend in the heat too. Glad you also enjoy this one
Thanks for visiting us and thanks for a great review. Please come back and visit us again soon 👍
No worries at all Chris! I really enjoyed my run, will be back soon. Thanks again for such a great parkrun
Great meeting you, Grant. Thanks for the shout out too 👍
Cheers Rich! Great meeting you out there too. I’m sure we’ll bump into each other again soon 😅
It was me who scanned your barcode on Saturday at the Parkrun. I’m pleased to see you enjoyed yourself at the run. Great review about the run
Brilliant! It was lovely meeting you, and I’m glad you enjoyed the review
Was visiting myself yesterday and it as me who saw you at the finish line. Good video and you are correct really good parkrun ( even spotted Dolphins in the bay ). If you ever venture south try my local parkrun (Lincoln) . Keep up the good work.
Great to bump into you Rob! Amazing you spotted some dolphins. I’ll have to start venturing south soon, I’ll send a message your way when I get down towards Lincoln! Thanks again
Looks like you had a fab day for a coastal run. Blyth is 1 of my fav parkrun locations and has everything you need right at the start/finish.
It’s such a good Parkrun and really convenient! Not many as good as this
Great vid! Stunning day and did notice your speedy time on Strava! Nice one! 😄
Cheers mate! We’ve definitely got lucky recently with the good weather for a Saturday morning. Doesn’t offer last much longer than that 😂
Looks like a lovely run, and lemon tart is never bad, even if it isn't carrot cake haha. I'm sure it won't make you fat . Take care and thanx for the vid
Thank you! Haha I think the lack of carrot cake is working wonders for my waistline 😂😂 I didn’t realise how rare a carrot cake would be!
We certainly did get sand blasted on that day. This is my favourite parkrun and I've done this one more than any other.
Haha glad you were also there to share the experience that day 😂 it is a gorgeous spot! The North East coastline is very underrated in my opinion!
Looks like a nice place for a parkrun, glad you enjoyed it and well done for the marathon, what a cracking time you got, hope you're suitably proud of yourself!
Cheers Chris! I was really happy with the marathon time all things considered. Lovely spot for a parkrun too! The cafe was brilliant, 100% would go back just for that 😂
