Join us this week as Mel & Olly enjoyed a fun filled parkrun day at Albert Melbourne parkrun and … did you see that photo?!! Sam joins the team and brings us an interview with Shipwreck Creek ED Phil Gore, we have all the usual emails and news from Dazzas, Obi’s, Club stats, and our favourite mini adventurer returns.

Episode 278 - Goldilocks

This week Mel & Olly were both adventuring at home with visitors, but there’s news of events returning, mothballing and closing – whaaaaat???  Tracey in a Tutu checks in from Noosa parkrun, we have all the fun from Dazza’s and wait…. The Obi ?? The Informants are back but there’s someone else looking around level 2 with a view…

Episode 277 - Stumped

It’s a quieter week for the adventurers with Olly back at home at a soggy Shellharbour and Mel staying local enjoying a morning of Balloons at Studley parkrun. Caveman Cam checks in from Applecross parkrun over in WA, and our Informants make a sheepish return to the office. Meanwhile, who does prepare the envelope for the Obi? Mel is getting suspicious!

Episode 276 – Mooving On

While another week may have passed, Mel and Olly take the opportunity to reflect on a purple, parkrun-packed palm weekend, as well as their ventures from the parkrun weekend just gone.  We catch up on lots of parkrun action across Australia and South Africa with roving reports from Sarah at Mt Clarence, Johan at Weavers Country Estate, Tracey in Queens Domain and Lyndell at Stockton parkrun.  Plus all the excitement from Dazza (despite the brief delay), Abi and ‘an’ Informant.

Episode 275 - palm22

The adventurers bring you their live recording of palm (parkrun adventurers listener meetup) 2022 from the Hurricanes Café at Bellerive parkrun in Tasmania. We chat to ED Brooke Van Nooten, enjoy the palm quiz and bring a special parkrun themed ceremony featuring some pod favorites. What an amazing weekend in parkrun!

Mel caught up will Johan Duvenhage from @ Heidedal parkrun in South Africa, we had roving reports from Sam @ Huskisson, TOC @ Cyril Curtain Reserve, Tracey @ Redland Bay & Lyndell @ Wondai parkrun, and the Intern gets the honour of ending the pod – well she was the only one left in the office… See you at palm22!

Episode 273 - Falling for You

The parkrun adventurers reflect on some frond-ly parkrundays as they both adventure once again.  We hear Roving Reports from PK, checking in at the new Oaklands Estate Reserve parkrun, and Tracey in a Tutu at Bargara parkrun, calling for monickers for their new loggerhead turtle adventurer.  We savour all the lurve from Dazza’s and hear who was right (or right-est) in The Informant’s stats question.  And don’t miss our special guest – the Party Planner himself – joining us later in the episode with the full preview of the parkrun adventurers listener meetup are Bellerive parkrun aka palm22!

Mel and Olly share a few parkrun app and gaming updates from our community, a mysterious visitor appears at Dazza’s, we carry on prepping for palm22 and discuss how to bring our Informant’s back into line.

Episode 271 - Arise

This week Mel and Olly enjoyed different adventures of the musical type! We dive into a new index challenge and Mel finds things that Olly is better at. We also change up the format at Dazza’s, hear from our millennial Informant and hit a new milestone in our Adventurers club!

Episode 270 - The only way is up

This week there have been adventures in all directions! Olly took to the road for the second week heading south west to Braidwood Showgrounds parkrun, while Mel trekked north west to Murray Bridge. There’s also roving reports from Western Australia with Cam at Pioneer parkrun, western Victoria with Adrian at Peppertree parkrun and New South Wales with a guerilla report from Alistair at Riverbank parkrun. The inbox was overflowing this week, Dazza’s was a biosphere of geographical chaos and the Intern returns to upset order in the office.
