On a slightly muggy Sheffield evening, four runners set off for a slightly longer and hillier run than normal, to Gleadless Valley, to gives us extra time to catch up on everyone's adventures during the long weekend. We also had a quick break en route to give Michelle some time to recycle her plastics at co-op, showing us all how to do good twice on one run.

Once arrived, we met the fabulous Irene from the Gleadless Valley Litter Pickers who was already busy at work. We helped to fill a satisfying eight bags of litter between us and then manoeuvred them into the bin (action shots above!). Since the mission site was close to residential area, we hope that this will help improve the area for residents :)

The run back was thankfully much easier, being mostly downhill. Back at the Showroom, Tom rounded the evening off with some stretching and teaching us how to tie our laces in a runners knot. Our toes and shoes will thank you!
