Thanks Gemma, glad to have you reading! I always struggle to pick favourites; they really are all good, and I'm at different events in very different circumstances. I used to be quicker, and enjoy racing people and so it's tempting to pick one like that - Nidda (Frankfurt) was very enjoyable. Equally, Westpark (Munich), for that reason and because I bumped into people from home. That one might make the top of the list if I had to pick, because it's a beautiful park. So I'll go with that, but it's ahead by a silver only.
I've been in Mainz - in my pre-parkrun days - so I know a little of the terrain. I also know the station because we did a tour along the Rhine, got into the train to come home, full of beer and wine and walking, and fell asleep, missing our stop, having to go all the way to Frankfurt before finding a train back and missing some of the "dinner in brewery" socialising.
Loving these blogs. I like a bit of Parkrun touring. I would like to do some in Germany in particular. Which is your favourite in Germany so far?

Lovely little city.
