Saturday, 6 May

Coronation Day and a wet, dank, misty start. Anne wanted to soak up the Coronation atmosphere with a big screen set up in the middle of Brighton, whilst Richard wanted to do the local parkrun. East Brighton parkrun was nice, 5 km around East Brighton Park, 3 laps all on grass. Not too slippy, considering the rain, and even better when he found out he finished first (out of 3) in his age category in a time of just over 31 minutes. Slow by most people’s standards, but alright for an oldie!!

Wish the weather had really been like this. Photo off the parkrun website.

Anne found the big screen and managed to find a seat in the gazebo out of the rain. Spirits very much dampened by the persistent rain, but enjoyable all the same, and something to remember. After a shower, Richard watched the ceremony on Harvard, Anne caught a bus back to the marina and after shopping it was back onboard, heating on and generally thawing and drying out. Planning to leave tomorrow at about 09:00 for Eastbourne.
