The photos don't quite do the title justice on this one, but believe us it was a WET ONE!
A hardy few headed out to meet David from The Walk Wheel Cycle Trust (formerly SUSTRANS) to get tooled up before heading around the corner to a lovely section of the new Grey to Green project in the city centre.
The section of the National Cycle Network that we were working on is next to the river and what will soon be the new public park built on the ruins of the old Sheffield castle.
It is a beautiful area and a fave for people to meet and chat. It also hosts a regular market; 'Pollen'.
Unfortunately some of the Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUD's) areas have become a hot bed for people throwing litter (mainly beer cans) into them. In fairness the SUD's hide the litter well, but it still has no place in the area so we gave it a good clear out.
Despite the at times torrential rain we still managed to bag up around 5-6 big bags of rubbish which Dave photographed and reported to the council via FIx My Street for them to make collection.
Top work team!
Until next time, happy running :)
Walk Wheel Cycle Trust is the new name for Sustrans, and they've been making it possible for everyone to walk, wheel and cycle since 1977. Uniting under a new name and a renewed mission to deliver more joy per journey, more peace per pedal, more smiles per mile.
