At the Parkrun they are also running a GoTri event which
is Duathlon incorporating the 5km parkrun, a 13km road cycle ride and a 1km run
around nearby Fitz Park.
I did offer to pack L’s bike but she declined, so it’s just
the run she’s doing. There’s one other complication, it’s tipping it down. The
start is at the former railway station which is now part of a hotel but the
platform works well as cover from the rain for us hardy spectators. Who aren’t
quite hardy enough to brave the rain.
Afterwards we go for a Full English in Keswick and then take in the Keswick
Museum where there is a display on Wainwright.
Then it’s back to the tent for a shower and some chilling in
the tent in the rain.
Later, we head down to the Sticklebarn for food and drink. The
place is now National Trust owned which I think is a bit like being run by the local
council. Consequently it stops serving food at 8pm and closes completely at 9pm
despite being over half full. Everyone decamps back to their accommodation or
to the other pubs. We head into the New Dungeon Ghyll next door for a night
cap.
