Peak District parkrun & Café Crawl! Running Glossop parkrun in Manor Park, Derbyshire.

We were due to meet friends for a walk in the Peak District and so it made perfect sense to head via Glossop to check out Manor Park, and Glossop parkrun. This run very much reminded me of Pavilion Gardens parkrun in Buxton with the different sections of the park sewn together by the parkrun route. Glossop parkrun has the added bonus of some lovely trail sections too.
The start of the parkrun was disorganised only in as far as a few children totally ran off from their adults who were trying desperately to stay with them! The actual organisation at this parkrun was perfection and the team were so warm and welcoming. I highly recommend a trip to both cafés as they were both wonderful in very different ways.
A great parkrun in a spectacular location, the Peak District was as stunning as always!

I love the formal park, but it would have to be summer for me as I would feel cheated wearing my trails on all that path and miffed if I ran through the woods and slipped everywhere and came out with muddy road shoes... Ha ha you had more ha ha than Danny when he came to Charlton! Lovely to see Gabby. Thanks for sharing.

[@NicolaRuns]

Ooh you make a VERY good point about shoes! Definitely one to visit in summer! 🙃

Great video Nicola - those hash browns look massive. I thought there was a pyramid on your plate at first

[@NicolaRuns]

My mouth is watering! They were so so good! 🤤🤤🤤

What a beautiful & varied park, Nicola. I will have to go & see it when I run at Lyme Park next year. Only six days now until I fly off to Ireland for my two parkruns overseas. At Glenfarne Wood I will have the novelty of seeing the U.K. across Upper Lough Macnean from the turnaround point whilst running outside of the U.K.

[@NicolaRuns]

Ooh enjoy! 😃

[@geoffh2560]

ah reluctant teenagers...yes, been there! Lovely parkrun Nicola, thanks for the video.

[@NicolaRuns]

I've got a fair few years to go 😳😳😳🤣

[@JasonCliftJones]

On my visit, I thought of it as being like Bramhall without the hall :) My main memory of Glossop is spending about half an hour before the start playing frisbee with one of the volunteers dogs though XD

[@NicolaRuns]

Awwww that's so lovely 🐕🐾

[@eddiegaul1903]

Looks like another cool park run. I remember having to deal with midges one summer after a rainy evening when I lived in the midwestern US. I live in the mountain west now, so we don't have any problems with those. The Great Salt Lake does have its share of mosquitos if you are close to it and at certain times of the year there are a TON of gnats near the river here. That did look like a fun course, although I suspect if you were a fast runner it might get a little frustrating weaving around people on the narrow trails. As always, you do a fabulous job showcasing the races and look forward to your content.

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks Eddie 🤗 Urgh... Bugs that bite are the worst! It's exactly how to ruin a good time really quickly 🤣 I think you're right about faster runners having a tough job but they seemed to do well navigating the rest of us 😃

[@Penguin0964]

Hi Nicola come and do the Bramhall Park Run in Stockport ☺️

[@NicolaRuns]

It's on the list 😃😃😃

[@NicolaRuns]

Hasn't she just! I'm enjoying my last year or two as the tall one in the family 😳😳😳🥰

[@emmarunyeard6832]

I will now call toilets.. Toilings 😂😂 much better word x

[@NicolaRuns]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it! 🤩

[@rickgwilt8074]

Excellent video, but the "ha-ha" is actually a mill race

[@NicolaRuns]

No way! That's interesting! Thank you so much 😃

[@JC-yc7of]

Well done yet again. There is something inherently unique about the villages in the Peak District, a real link to bygone times. Nice commentary and good tourist info. Thanks again

[@NicolaRuns]

I adore the Peak District. Every now and then I forget about it and then fall in love with it again when I revisit. You're right, there's definitely a special feel there 🥰

[@bren70ssss94]

Excellent run , yes the van is very handy for a snooze 😴 , she is growing up fast . Are you doing another road trip this year ?

[@NicolaRuns]

Hmmm... yes I guess travelling with a bed will always appeal to a teenager 🤣 Nothing big this year, just a few weeks here and there 😃

[@bren70ssss94]

​@@NicolaRuns , that trouble in Leeds wasn't near you was it ? I hope not , we living in strange times . Just checking in 😊

[@NicolaRuns]

@@bren70ssss94 awww thanks, it was a few miles away so all was calm here. Thanks for caring 🤗

That breakfast looks immense but I'm curious as to how veggie black pudding works?

[@NicolaRuns]

It was mainly lentils, I'm not convinced it's particularly black pudding like but it was nice 🤷🏻‍♀️🙃

[@MichaelTinker-dt1rp]

well done i did it the week after you and i will be back there soon hoping for waterGrove next Saturday if fine weather

[@NicolaRuns]

We're due some good weather after all this rain! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@@NicolaRuns i know at Bramham 10k this morining it was not to bad ie the rain came to trail bit of race muddy and wet so had to be careful

[@MichaelTinker-dt1rp]

@@NicolaRuns did Millbrook Monster 10k last night non stop in 53 mins quite tough for me this year last mile there are some steep steps and those killed my legs off but the good thing the entry fee inculdes a chip butty from the local chippy near the start well its going to be fine this week and in 2 days WaterGrove park run for me i love these tough runs etc

[@NicolaRuns]

@@MichaelTinker-dt1rp well done, chip butty sounds like perfection! 😃

[@BillyBobJoeSnr]

Not so sure about this week's parkrun fresh....

[@NicolaRuns]

What do you mean? 🤔🙃

[@BillyBobJoeSnr]

​@@NicolaRunsCome on you can see the sheen of sweat due to the heat. Maybe, just maybe, a pre brunch shower was in order. I'm sure your friends love you two enough to not mind.

[@BillyBobJoeSnr]

​@@NicolaRunsMust admit this seems absolutely idyllic compared to the Edinburgh marathon. I was gagging at the thought of blood drenched tops.

[@NicolaRuns]

@@BillyBobJoeSnr lol... I was super sweaty! But I had baby wipes and a change of clothes. No shower though 🙃 The friends had done parkrun too of course so it was all good 😃
