Andy at Urunga

Look who was running the Urunga parkrun last Saturday. Yes it's Andy Matthews!



With a 23:38 PB there, he has been running consistently around the 23-24 minute range.

Andy Writes:
I have rented a large 4 bed room house, so there is plenty of room for visitors.
Urunga is about 5 minute away from the Pacific highway, about 30 minutes before Coffs Harbour.
It’s a small town of 3000 or so people. It has a good pub, a couple of clubs, and a few good cafes/restaurants. It has a library, post office and small supermarkets.
We have a parkrun with sea views, Saturday at 7.00 am.
The Bellinger and Kalang rivers flow into the sea here, and the town is most famous for the boardwalk, which goes from the town centre along the estuary to the open sea.
It’s a very pleasant laid back sort of place with a great climate.
15 minutes away is the very different town of Bellingen – lots of good restaurants, pubs with live music, festivals, markets etc. One of my favourite places.
If you are coming up this way, it would be great to see you.
I have been trying to buy a house for a while, but good properties are very rare and I have been a bit slow. Hopefully this will be sorted soon. Then I can quit work!
I am just about to go for a holiday in the UK and Spain, spending some time with my folks and Anna and Joe.
Hope things are good with you.
Cheers
Andy
