A Tree-mendous Effort

The Long and Winding Road
Oooooooooh, it was a long one last night to Scadbury Park. 5.5k each way! Would we make it? Who knew? But no messing around: no prolonged briefings or warm ups or any such business, we had to start running.
The Fool On The Hill
Who put this hill here? Who decided it should go on for about a mile?
Norwegian Wood
Norwegian Woods are notoriously dense and difficult to navigate, much like Scadbury Park. OK, it wasn't that difficult because task owner Andrew had given us directions. Across the boardwalk, follow the stream. After a couple of false alarms we found our task.
Trees Trees Me/Log Log Me Do
There was a massive pile of branches, logs and bigger logs to shift. Luckily we are all super strong. BUT some of them were a bit prickly and rough. What could we do....?
All You Need is Gloves
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
With A Little Help From My Friends
Despite there only being four of us and only having twenty minutes to work we made a significant impact.
Get Back
On the way back (where we got to enjoy going down that hill) we discussed Pun of the Month, and how we should engineer a future task and activities to allow us to win it. Get your thinking caps on, Bromley.
A Hard Day's Night
We were also all so hungry from running and shifting so much that we decided on the very first Bromley Social. Taking place next week post-run at Byron Burger. Yum.
(Hello) Goodbye,
