There are 60 UK parkruns with valid anagrams (not including exact matches such as READING-READING). Number of anagrams in brackets.

Thinking of setting it up as a challenge, but figured some might enjoy it as a quiz (sorry Ian V )

If Jono really wants, I can run an analysis of the effect of the dictionary cull on parkrun anagrams

(Edit to add new parkruns since original list and remove MAIDSTONE (2) - renamed to Maidstone River, so no longer an anagram boo )

Definitely a parkrun challenge this

we should definitely organise co:Newark

Edit - v close to North Hykeham - 24 mins drive so parkrun doable!

Orangefield is a lovely scramble - good one for when 10 letter cons become too easy and someone moves on to 11

By popular demand... (1 person!)
