The water does not look the best for swimming but the birds don’t seem to mind it.

We were visiting for a parkrun event, a free timed community five kilometre walk or run. Today I was going to walk as I strained my ankle last week and I need to give it a rest. This week was there three hundred and thirty third event 333. There are all sorts of apps and challenges to do around parkrun. Currently I have completed 364 parkruns at 101 different locations and volunteered 25 times to help run events. Completing Warner lakes 333 event would go towards a Nelson Challenge, That is running or walking at an event numbered 111, 222, 333 and so on. I have a 111 but still have to find a 222.
