10 Mar Weekend Roundup 9 – 10 March 2019
Another quietish weekend, but plenty of parkrun action, with some of it in quite far-flung locations. This week's covergirl Kate Cheshire had to contend with sunshine and high humidity in Houston, Texas, but possibly that's preferable to dealing with hailstorms and hurricane winds in Sully,...
