Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 3
Sunday 25th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Sunday got off to a slowish start, probably because Saturday had been pretty full on. We decided we would go and visit Rosenborg Castle and see what else we fancied doing around the area if we had time. After another outdoor breakfast we walked from the hotel (around…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 2
Saturday 24th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark After a good night’s sleep, I was all set to go and parkrun somewhere in Copenhagen, preferably at Amager strandpark. I sorted my kit out and looked up the route I’d use to get there (about half a dozen stops on the metro), downloaded the DOT app to…

Sunday, 13th October 2019 – Stoneywell Cottage, Ulverscroft On Sunday, after a run along the Soar which really didn’t show me Leicester’s best side (it was a nasty cold morning with steady rainfall and the river runs through what can only be described as a post-industrial wasteland), I returned to the hotel to shower. We…
Travel 2019 – Leicestershire Weekend, Day 1, Leicester
Saturday, 12th October 2019 – Leicester I realise Leicester may not be your obvious first choice when considering where to go in the UK, but bear with me. Actually if you try to get any tourist information in advance, you could be forgiven for thinking Leicester’s tourist information office don’t think it is either, between…
