Episode 3 of 4 out of our visits to Upper Norwood Library Hub, brought us part 1 of 2 paint jobs!
After meeting at the Bridge House, doing a quick warm up and then properly warming up by running up the hill, George, Nick and I met Katy (who'd run a cool 5k from Brixton π) round the back of the Library.
We'd previously done some ivy removal and bramble chopping back in order to get access to the fence which was due a new coat of paint!
Hoping for a bright colour, alas, we were given a pot of black paint (though not as black as vantablack), to coat the fence with.
Luckily we were gifted a nice set of brushes and we got to work, managing to cover a good 4 and a half sections of the fence. We even had a race to see who could paint 3 bars the quickest (Nick won π₯³).
When we were done, Katy ran back to Brixton to clock up a 10k, and Nick lives round the corner so me and George took a (particularly) dark route back through the park. π»
Nice one guys :)
