The 90th running of Southend parkrun took place on Saturday and a record 277 runners and many spectators came out to take place and cheer. The event was special for a couple of reasons. Firstly it was a pacing event where a number of parkrun regulars had agreed to pace other runners to help them …
Great Notley Spring Duathlon – Photoblog
Had a great morning up at the Great Notley Discovery Park this morning watching and photographing the Born2Tri Great Notley Spring Dualthlon.

Essex Sunset – Right Place Right Time
After a long but enjoyable day touring the East of England looking at construction project entries for an awards competition I was travelling home and enjoying an ever increasingly dramatic sunset over London.

Thurrock Thameside Nature Park
With the family in tow I finally got to visit the Thurrock Thameside Nature Park near Stanford-le-Hope in Essex this morning and jolly good an outing it was too. The park is on a small corner of the Cory landfill site near Mucking and is not that easy to find if you don't know where …
Southend Cliff Stabilisation
Working from home today so took the opportunity of buzzing down to the seafront to take a nosey at the civil engineering works going to 'repair' and stabilise the cliffs where a major slip occurred 10 years ago. Despite it being rather gray I snapped some pics and later spoke to the Public Liaison lady …
