Man-ure a super duper pooper scooper!

23 up and at em runners met at Vivo on Tuesday to run and basically move a massive mound of manure. A big welcome to Kate and Debs who joined us for their first run, and a bit of a 'keep it up' to Paul for whom this was his 98th run!

The rain threatened us but held off as we headed up the lovely but busy Bristol to Bath Path, a cunning hill disguised as a bit of flat, and ended up at Easton Community Gardens where the pile of poo awaited us, as well as some weeding and some grass sheering too. The question that Christina, our contact that the Garden, had on her lips was... could we shift all that... er.. guano in time?

The gang set to the task knowing we'd be running off again very soon, and grabbed spades, forks, wheelbarrows and kneeling pads for the weeding.

The weeders and the shearers seemed to get a bit addicted to their tasks - just one more weed, just time to snip a few more blades of grass but all too soon the time to run back was upon us... Had the massive mound of muck been moved, had we dealt with the dung?

YES!!!!

A cracking job from the wheelbarrow team saw the squishy horse apples safely stowed in compost bins. HURRAH! Christina was thrilled!

We headed back down the path and regrouped in Queens Square for a lovely long stretch and chat about forthcoming runs - The Chew Valley 10k, the New Forest 10 (miles!) and the Bristol Half. I'll send out links for all of these runs in my weekly email so that people who were not on the run can also see what we're planning.

TOP WORK TEAM!
