Tonight's task was to carry a load of clothes that had been collected by the Big Peg, to Suited to Success. The suit drive meant that there was at least a bag or two for everyone to carry, but of course GoodGym don't drive, all was done on foot :)

We met Matt at the Big Peg, had a quick couple of pics, then walked around 1.2k to Suited for Success, were Patricia was delighted to see us for the first time since Covid and even gave us a quick show around. Then it was time for a picture before heading off on our run.

We ran along the canal, through Brindley Place, then back through the city centre, up to 1000 Trades. The weather was that preferred by ducks, so we all were a little damp on arriving back, but that didn't dampen any spirits on a job well done :)
