At the slightly earlier time of 6pm (because it was cold and we wanted to get home and warm/join in with Michal's HIIT session) Debs, Leanne, Micheal and Ed met for more gritting shenanigans. The plan was simple, each person grab a barrow full of grit, drop them off at various point around the park and grit to your heart's content

The task was made slightly harder by Ed forgetting his head torch, but he soon m,ade up for that by inventing a new gritting technique called 'the tosser'. simply pick up grit, do a bowling kind of motion and release!

Whilst Ed and Debs mastered the intricacies of this new tactic, Micheal and Leanne persevered with the tried and tested flicking technique, and in fairness probably covered a lot more ground

Once the whole park was beautifully gritted we returned to the meeting point, somehow minus one wheelbarrow and one security light. As soon as they were found we said our goodbyes and headed home to the warmth/fitness


This task supported
