Episode 338 - Hitch ’em up

How did the leopard get its spots? What’s better than coffee after juniors? What is the world’s toughest parkrun? Where are you taking me, and why do I need my passport? What do Rod, Gail and Neil have in common? What’s bigger, Mel’s P index or her V index? Why is Kilmore RWT parkrun another parkrun to add to your list? Who let the dogs out? The answer to all these questions, and more, is waiting for you in this episode of the parkrun Adventurers podcast. Spoiler alert – a roving report from Bishan parkrun is just one of those answers!

We celebrate all the things this week as Mel & Olly parkran together at the brand new Woodlands Historic Park and Simon caught up with Lyndell the Legendary at Fodder Forest for her Cowell. PK drops in from Oaklands Estate Reserve and TOC brings us a European double from Ziegelwiese and Amager Fælled. All this and more antics as we reflect another week in parkrun.

It’s a Dutch flavoured podcast this week with TOCCY from Inverloccy bringing us all the action from The Netherlands at Zuiderpark and Kagerzoom parkruns.

Back at home, Mel headed west to Anstey Hill Recreation parkrun and Olly headed north to Centennial parkrun – but they didn’t leave Australia ☹

Meanwhile, the Swather Wars continue …

Episode 335 - Soldier’s Five

It’s a very newsy pod this week. Mel took her press pass to the new Dixon Field parkrun and Chanel 5 news crew reports hit the presses from all over. Our international reporter, TOC, checked in from Donaupark parkrun in Austria. PK was on a Windex-hunt at Narooma Wetlands. And Lyndell was investigating mysteries at Robelle Domain. We also have a swather of emails, interstate updates from the west side, and a ‘soldier’s five’ from the Office Lady.

This week, we embrace the spirit of carpe diem and advocate for a promising new word that has been tattooed in our minds....

Even Myrtle the Turtle is Cha Cha Cha’ing around on parkrunday this week!
