Is it a sport? Is it dangerous? Do you need a special place to do it?

Parkour is a new underground 'phenomenon' sweeping cities around the UK and is an activity where you don’t need specialist equipment, just a good pair of trainers, comfortable clothing and a lot of nerve!

Coming under the more familiar name of Free Running, Parkour is a physical discipline inspired by human movement. It focuses on uninterrupted, efficient forward motion over, under, around and through obstacles (both human-made and natural) in one's environment. Such movement may involve running, jumping, climbing and more complex techniques.

Developed on city streets in France, can Durham's Necklace Park be a perfect place to Parkour? Well thanks to You Tube and some fearless Durhamites, you might recognise some of the locations!!
