Listen "Using the Bathscape for Leisure"
Episode Synopsis
Join us this month as we explore some of the many ways Bathonians use the beautiful Bathscape in their free time. The episode gets going at the saturday morning parkrun up at the National Trust skyline. Parkrun celebrated its 20th anniversary last October and there are now said to be 10m registered runners in 23 different countries. Parkruns are completely free. You can walk, run, jog, volunteer or spectate. It is a 5k course and takes place every Saturday morning. Those who featured in this section were Bath Bats Founder Andy Mullett, Bath Parkrun Founder Helen Conner, Bath Parkrun Course Director James Gorman and Parkrun Master Runner Tom Hutchison. We need a rest after all that running and so relax on the river with paddleboarder and architect Meg Collin.Bathscape is well-known for organising the annual walking festival here in Bath and we thought it would be fun to hear from Andrew aka 'Abel' Lawrence who has written a book called ‘I walked every street in Bath’ .We finish up at Odd Down Sports Ground where there's a charity called All Cycle Bath and West. Here Hannah Samuel shows us around the amazing variety of accessible bikes they have stored up there.
