Parkrun: September 21 2024 [eng/deu]
Hello Hivers!
Anke here aka Anna-NewKey.
Yesterday Mia and I went on an excursion through Eaton Socon and back via the Riverside and the Bedford Pocket Park, where a Parkrun was taking place.
We set off at 8am and I was curious how long it would take. It was 1.5 hours in the end which included chatting to various people along the way.
The first 20 minutes of the route runs on a green strip between houses and comes out by a roundabout at the main bridge into St Neots.
The houses here are for the over sixties, a lovely little road. I had a chat with the gentleman back there. I'm sure I'll meet him again next time. 😄
Near the roundabout is a pub "The Barley Mow" and as I went round the back to have a look a lady approached me to say they are dog-friendly. I think she might have been the landlady actually.
They do food, so I shall return at some point.
A little meadow just across from the pub and back on familiar ground through the Riverside Park passing St Neots Bridge.
It's so lovely to have this sort of thing right in the heart of town.
We walked all the way to the River Mill Pub to complete the circle and passing the campsite and a Parkrun that was just taking place.
The marshal lady explained the route to me and talked me into taking part next time, she's "expecting to see me next Saturday". 😄
I am planning to oblige as it's so close to home now, and ordered my barcode tags ready for next week.

Gestern gingen Mia und ich durch Eaton Socon und zurück über den Riverside und den Bedford Pocket Park, wo ein Parkrun stattfand.
Wir machten uns um 8 Uhr auf den Weg und ich war neugierig, wie lange wir brauchen würden. Am Ende waren es 1,5 Stunden, einschließlich Gesprächen mit Leuten die wir auf dem Weg trafen.
Die ersten 20 Minuten der Strecke führen auf einem Grünstreifen zwischen Häusern hindurch und enden an einem Kreisverkehr an der Hauptbrücke nach St. Neots.
Die Häuser hier sind für Leute über 60, eine hübsche kleine Straße. Ich habe mich mit dem Herrn dort hinten unterhalten. Ich bin sicher, dass ich ihn beim nächsten Mal wiedersehen werde. 😄
In der Nähe des Kreisverkehrs befindet sich ein Pub „The Barley Mow" und als ich nach hinten ging, um mich umzuschauen, kam eine Dame auf mich zu und sagte, dass Hunde im Pub gern gesehen werden. Ich glaube, sie war die Wirtin.
Man kann da auch Essen, also werde ich irgendwann wiederkommen.
Eine kleine Wiese direkt gegenüber vom Pub und wieder zurück über vertrautes Terrain durch den Riverside Park an der St. Neots Bridge vorbei.
Es ist so schön, so etwas mitten im Herzen der Stadt zu haben.
Wir sind den ganzen Weg zum River Mill Pub zurück um die Runde abzuschließen, und kamen dabei am Campingplatz und einem Parkrun vorbei, der gerade stattfand.
Die Marshal-Dame erklärte mir die Strecke und überredete mich, nächstes Mal mitzumachen, sie „erwartet, mich nächsten Samstag zu sehen“. 😄
Ich habe vor, ihr zu folgen, da es jetzt so dicht von Zuhause ist, und habe meine Barcode-Tags für nächste Woche bestellt.

Thanks for posting such beautiful pictures of wonderful landscapes. I was enjoying them.
Thank you, they would have been better with a bit of sunshine.
We're having a bit of a grey phase right now. ☁️⛅️
Definitely a walk full of talking, I thought it was a figure of speech but you stopped several times. Ah I hope to see a food review on the pet friendly place.
Btw I'm going to show this to @elchapito so he can see Mia. Has started using actifit just like you, just after having a conversation together with his owner to get her to be more active on Hive.
Now my new plan will be for you all to start creating posts for #Worldmappin community xD.
Ah cool! Followed! 😄
Worldmappin? Is that the new pineapple?
I shall check it out!
Haha you are making me famous @ninaeatshere! My last post already was linked to worldmappin.com 😜 - So you reached your goal. Congrats!
That’s great! I just think there’s a lot of doggies around and you all could get to be friends 😌
That is an awesome thought. Thanks for having me in mind @ninaeatshere🐝👍
So are you going to walk the parkrun? I think they should encourage that more to get people out. The weather has been a bit mixed this weekend. It didn't spoil the band gig though.
Yeah, I'll have to start with a walk/jog.. it'll be new for Mia, so have to take it slowly.
But it'll be fun either way, meeting people.
It's been pretty miserable today, glad it went OK!
