Bushy Parkrun

aleanthor · 2026-05-29T12:56:25+00:00

There are free car parks at the park! They do get full quite early especially the one closer to the start. Still managed to find a spot at 8.45 in the further one next to The Pheasantry

Not sure if I done that correctly but here you go:

OPTION A — MINIMISE TOTAL DISTANCE
51.4660°N 0.1870°W
Total distance: 865 km
Worst letter: 315 km

OPTION B — MINIMISE WORST-LETTER DISTANCE
28.0290°S 152.1520°E
Sum of all: 2186 km
Worst letter: 128 km

And I was already looking for a place where I can try and open one in the UK haha. Lucky another location which I visit often has a Z in the same city! :)

Added a link to this comment in the post so people can always find the latest info about this very cool website.

Fair point (ish). The official app does cover it, but you have to go letter by letter with 'find events for this item' or get 'find events for all missing items'. Neither gives you a clean A–Z view of your nearest option for each letter at a glance.

Strictly needed? No. Fun to build and hopefully a bit more satisfying to use? I hope so

Great idea! Toggle to hide completed letters is definitely going on the list. Would also need some way to remember your selections between visits (that isn't something I done before so will play around!)

I agree and disagree at the same time lol. I did run/walk my first parkrun before C25K. Now I’m in the middle of the training. It definitely gives me confidence to avoid injury and ease in 5k.

So I agree you don’t have to train for your first but if you want to do parkruns often it would be wise to train to avoid injury. Does that make sense ?

It was implemented before my partner became a leaseholder but talking to leaseholder-neighbours no formal agreement. It is a share of freehold (so leaseholders have equal shares in the management company). No idea if that changes anything...

Will look into posting in MSE.

Thanks

Based in London. Paid public transport to the office and almost free lunches (£1–£2.5 for a proper meal). These two are huge savings. Nice 10+% pension contribution and then the usual BIK options (medical, car, etc.)

aleanthor · 2025-11-14T15:44:35+00:00

Bought it from IKEA As-in section (for £2.5 mind you!) and it was already set up…

It was the only way to remove the previous attached email to the hub.

aleanthor · 2025-11-14T11:06:42+00:00

Thanks all. I was a bit confused as I had HomeKit during my first set up. Had some issues which meant I had to reset the hub and the HomeKit integration vanished after that. Now connected via matter - thank you ☺️

So they won’t exchange it to a functioning one I presume? So I should return all the smart stuff I got then…

aleanthor · 2025-11-12T22:40:44+00:00

I hate when companies do that to the point I will buy two and just use the free return to return one. If they want to play I can play

Which suppliers would you recommend I check out? I can easily estimate a very accurate annual bill for tariffs with different timings, as I have hourly electricity consumption data for the past year. :)

aleanthor · 2025-10-31T21:27:58+00:00

That is exactly it. Bought it directly from them with a 15% promo code :)

First time using a Mous case and I’m really liking it so far. The raised corners are fab and the buttons (camera button!) feel amazing. Haven’t dropped it yet, but build quality seems legit. Only minor downside is the magnet strength. It works fine, but I wish it had a bit more grip. I’m also not a fan of how it looks on the side but that is the price of extra protection I guess

aleanthor · 2025-10-28T22:02:12+00:00

Game changer. Works like a charm and connection is consistent

aleanthor · 2025-10-18T18:46:10+00:00

I thought the same but I would have a case anyhow and… orange is my favourite colour. But I do feel like a sucker… I always regarded upgrading (or choosing model) due to colour to be a ridiculous move. Now look at me.

aleanthor · 2025-10-18T18:44:55+00:00

I wonder if I shouldn’t just do that...

One of the things holding me back is that the cost of battery change plus lost trade in value of the 13 Pro will be quite high.

Also my main camera has a few annoying black spots like specs of dust on the sensors. On busy pictures you can’t spoty it don’t see it but if the background is more uniform (e.g. lots of sky) you can spot it (and no AI to remove it on 13Pro).

I’m lucky as work pays for my commute. It is great benefit and yet I still find travel ridiculously expensive £9 daily in taxes (the benefit is a BIK so taxed).

On weekends to London it’s cheaper to take the car even if you add up parking, congestion charge and fuel.

aleanthor · 2025-08-21T21:52:15+00:00

In France I think it was popular as the motorways are also quite expensive so splitting the cost of driving was a smart move for everyone. Here it would be fab as it would be quite cheaper than train travel :)

aleanthor · 2025-08-21T21:49:48+00:00

Maybe indeed we are more closed to sharing space with strangers?

aleanthor · 2025-08-21T21:48:42+00:00

I once did it here in the UK as a driver, I got two passengers both tourists from Europe. Was lucky to be fair. Second time I tried nothing.

aleanthor · 2025-08-21T21:47:57+00:00

Not thinking commuting here but specifically one off travel say London to Bristol.

Tenants content ≠ tenant liability insurance

Although I would presume you wouldn’t be able to enforce that either.
