A lovely mix of regular, old & new faces was eagerly waiting to set off at 7PM sharp - give Joan Alexandre a welcoming cheer for his first Goodgym experience and a warm welcome back to Alice!

After a little break, tonight we went back to see Nilesh at the Forest Recycling Project, always a chance of a messy adventure! This time there was a variety of jobs to do, from painting the storage container outside to mixing up paint to marking tins and labeling them as well. Linda bravely took on the riskiest job of mixing up, with an interesting pattern on trainers and leggings as result - good thing she came prepared! Jenny also showed a few paint stains, perhaps best not to ask how she got it on her face...? Or perhaps James C & Joan could shed some light on this.... For a change it seemed i might get away clean this time, but crushing a few paint tins especially brought in meant as always my hands didn't stay clean.

As always at FRP, time flew by. Vicki luckily noticed it was time to pack up and head back to base. A few stretches later, it was job done - over 6k ran and a nice dent made in the never-ending pile of paint tins to be sorted. Apologies for the few pictures, i got a bit distracted by a little side job for Nilesh.
