‘The parkrun Piper’

A few weeks ago it was lab coats at parkrun, today we had a piper. 

Laurie had brought his bagpipes with him today and was planning to play them as he went round the course. 

Its quite a challenge - besides the obvious multitasking,  bagpipes need constant airflow, so breath control is also a challenge. And at between two and 3 kilos, bagpipes are also pretty heavy!

By his own admission, he's a novice at this game - he's only attempted it once before - and he ended up with the tailwalker today, but it was great to hear the pipes in the distance as I went round the course! (see extras)

He beat his previous time too!
