Sweat & Serenity - Long Eaton Parkrun + Stoneywell National Trust Retreat

Iona has a parkrun goal, before today only one person, Gregory Bailey, has achieved it, today at Long Eaton parkrun the second person, Brian Nel, reached 250 parkruns without a repeat!

When we heard of this momentous event, Long Eaton instantly became our Saturday morning destination. It was great to meet Brian, share some celebratory cake and also enjoy a fab parkrun including a "pop-up" lake covering part of the course 😂

Post parkrun, we headed to a breakfast cafe near a previous parkrun destination, The Heritage Cafe, Ruddington, they do a great full breakfast!

But our day wasn't over . . . it was a day of culture and history too! We were back on the National Trust tourism trail too, today was a visit to an Arts and Crafts Family home - Stoneywell. We loved it, no big stately home, but a quirky cottage nestled into the hillside. Iona fell in love with an inglenook by the fireplace, perfect for curling up and reading in on a cold winters day!

About Ian, Iona and Family
===============================
Each week on this channel Ian (Dad) and Iona share our little adventure experiences, often joined by Ewan (Iona’s older brother) and Ruth (Mum) too.

Our weekends often start with parkrun. Iona is on a non-repeat parkrun tourism streak having now visited over 100 different places since she started parkrunning. But we don’t just do parkun and dash home, we love exploring the area and often use bikes and trains for our travels to keep our carbon footprint low and because it adds to the adventure too. When school holidays arrive, longer adventures are possible with Ewan and Iona both being keen cycle tourists and mountain climbers!

So if you like heading outdoors and your idea of a perfect weekend includes parkrun, climbing a mountain or exploring new places on two wheels then we would love to have you join us on our adventures.

We’d love it if you subscribed so you can follow our journey and hopefully be inspired to get out the door and have your own little adventures. Do like and leave comments on our videos too on questions you might have or ideas for places to explore or adventures to go on.
