Almost a blizzard at Blickling parkrun!

Conditions were tough for volunteers and runners for run #537 on the Blickling Estate in Norfolk. With a brisk NW wind blowing, and the air temperature around -2, the snow started to pick up as the run started, and got quite heavy by 9:30. Everyone seemed to be in good spirits and staying warm.

Results are on the Parkrun website.

I rode the 7 miles or so with Michael to the parkrun, into a tough cold headwind, and Michael only had a few minutes to strip down and stretch before hitting the start line. He did manage a time of 19:16 though!
