Report written by Angela Isherwood
A beautiful autumnal evening and Colchester Trainer, Angela, visited to lead the run whilst Ian "Ironman" Duggan enjoyed his post-race gin!
We had a lovely run to Brickmakers wood to help Rob with his task of creating firewood. There was a huge pile of London Plane branches that needed to be cut up or sawed up to create firewood. The seeds from the tree are also used for kindling for fires, so its a wonderful way of using the waste from the woodlands that are cleared by this charity.
Everyone got stuck in, and in no time the wood was cleared. What took us a little under 30 minutes would have taken Rob a whole day, so we all felt super proud. We took some photos, then said some goodbyes before making our way back to the Quays for our fitness session.
A quick circuit made sure we were thoroughly exercised before we sauntered back home, basking in the glory of a job well done.
