Exploring the country using every station as a gateway to lesser known places, sharing my journey via YouTube | parkrun addict | youtube.com/@JenOnTheMove | she/her
- So I woke up in London at 4am this morning I’ve just left the pub in Bury No idea how I’m still going 😂
- 🎬 NEW VIDEO 🎬 This morning I was on the first GWR battery powered 230! It takes more than a few AA batteries! youtu.be/osjUSrDeYDY
- While I’m in the area it’ll be rude not to! That was a hard run after getting up at 4! #parkrun
- This is a thing…
- 🎬 NEW VIDEO 🎬 It's my final episode from the Welsh Marches Line, after the end of a very busy couple of days for me I'm left pondering where I was at with my recovery Oh, and stations, there are stations! youtu.be/RFPFaVfKL6w
- Every parkrun within the M60… done ✅ That was fun, but I’m struggling with energy levels so found it tough #parkrun
- Esso petrol station Asda tanker Let’s be honest, it’s all the same shit regardless of “brand” (Yes I know it has an Asda attached but the petrol station is explicitly Esso)
- 🎬 NEW VIDEO 🎬 I'm entering my second day on the Welsh Marches Line, and I'm magically at Shrewsbury heading north - to some unexpectedly nice places! youtu.be/LVy8kzdmPD8
- Trams are cool. Jen is tired. Just turns out we’re considerably worse at them here than the Netherlands!
- I can do all of the things, I can do so many things But after I’ve done all of the things, I’m broken 😞
- Of course we were gonna do Zuiderpark! That was fun! Think I might have PBed too! #parkrun
- Controversial opinion time. Amsterdam [city centre at least] is difficult to move around on foot if you cannot cycle. To us outsiders it’s sold as a utopia but it’s actually far from it.
- Don’t get me wrong, it’s infinitely better than any UK city in nearly every metric, but the reality still isn’t the dream that YouTube tells us it is!
- You know we love a good canal!
- Trams are cool!
- 🎬 NEW VIDEO 🎬 Continuing along the Welsh Marches line, I discover a station that's been upgraded, but it doesn't seem very well thought through at all! Clicky: www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_N7...
- I preach about how amazing going outside is. I just went outside. It was bad. I take it all back… I’m going into hibernation for the rest of the day 😂
- Still being relatively new to wearing glasses combined with the sideways rain may be connected to my desire to hibernate
- Sometimes you run even when you don’t want to. Today was one of those days #parkrun
- Just a reminder that “yeah but my friends/colleagues/contacts are still on Twitter” becomes more of a crap excuse every day. Think about what you’re actually supporting. These sites and services only exist because people use them
- I jumped ship a long long time ago but I’ll happily admit I stayed there too long
- Nowhere is ever perfect, but there are places that are proving themselves to be actively harmful places to people who aren’t you… don’t be an enabler
- 🎬 NEW VIDEO 🎬 It's a new year! Let's get back to what I love doing! I'm visiting every station on the Welsh Marches line with @rupertairbear.bsky.social Time for some cheeky Lego building! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ELz...
- It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
- I don’t know who needs to hear this but you only need one or two reusable water bottles You also don’t need to overthink it, if it holds water, it’s probably good enough. This is mine, it cost £5, it’s excellent at containing water. You’re welcome 🙂
- We were meant to be running in Wales but with so many parkruns being cancelled because of ice, we played it safe! 4th parkrun in 2 weeks, my legs now feel it! @squareybee.bsky.social @nickbadley.com #parkrun
- Apparently this is a big deal?
- Well that’s a nice way to start the new year! #parkrun
- Happy new year to those watching on ITV+1
- Happy new year from Manchester!
- Last parkrun of the year! Dragged a few familiar faces along too! @squareybee.bsky.social @sarahwiththetrains.bsky.social @nattj.bsky.social @nickbadley.com #parkrun
- 🎬🎄 CHRISTMAS VIDEO 🎄🎬 Hi everyone! Merry Christmas! What better way for me to celebrate Christmas than to visit my second favourite station! youtu.be/7gx77ovaKFo
- Merry Christmas everyone! Was I going to do anything else today!? #parkrun
- 🎬 NEW VIDEO 🎬 Yesterday I was down in that London, SWR invited me along to take a trip on the 455 farewell tour and it ended up being a genuinely enjoyable experience! youtu.be/G5DIBaYS8gE
- I did a thing…
- Run by a river?! Don’t mind if I do! Dragged @rupertairbear.bsky.social along to Kingston parkrun! Did surprisingly well, considering I didn’t have a time based goal today, setting my second fastest time! #parkrun
- It’s December, it’s the last weekend before Christmas, but if Jen sees ice cream, she must have ice cream
- What did I do to deserve this?!?!
- 🎬 NEW VIDEO 🎬 I made the pilgrimage down to Cornwall at the weekend for the final English HST. I wasn't actually planning on physically being on the last one, but a series of events led to me being on it! This is a proper feel good video, give it a watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXBR...
- And please please please do share this one... So much work went into this! <3
- There are worse places to edit I guess. Ignoring the fact I’m on a voyager 😂😂
- Reposted by JenOnTheMove 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈For nearly 50 years the HST has run services the length and breadth of England. But no more this is the case… HST services in England will run no more! Goodbye & Goodnight!
- And that’s it, end of an era in the South West, and end of an era for Jen as I’ll touch on in the video! @gwr.com did such a great job today, amazing staff, amazing organisation We love it when our community comes together for a celebration!
- Things that weren’t in my plan today… Newquay!
