Parkrun Cafes

Before the run - would look a bit different after!

Here's a right pair of parkrunners. This was taken just before Wepre Parkrun near Connah's Quay which is one of the hilliest Parkruns in the UK (457th out of 458) it's off road as well so it just about qualifies as a fell race. And Vicky got a PB thanks to Skip the valiant running dog. Vicky has her red 50 Parkrun t-shirt on and she's well on her way to getting her black 100 Parkrun t-shirt (ooh look who's got one of those?) Our other closest Parkrun is at Conwy but we tend to avoid that in the winter because a) it's by the sea and is usually windy and b) it's on tarmac all the way (and flat) but they do have a nice RSPB cafe. Talking of post Parkrun cafes the best has to be at Dolgellau.

Welsh Cakes anyone?

TH Roberts is in the middle of town opposite the Royal Ship Hotel and has the best cakes going. We had mixed fruit slices to go with our tea/coffee and sat with other park runners waiting for our results to appear on our mobiles. In fact the very friendly organisers were in the far corner using their laptops to compile results! We've only been down there for this Parkrun once cos it's quite an early start but I'm sure we'll go again. In fact all the Welsh Parkruns we've been to are associated with nice post run cafes, another one to recommend is the cafe that's actually right by the start in the castle at Penrhyn!
