Who else would you find loitering under a bridge on a warm summer's evening but a gang of GG Yorkies armed with paint and brushes?

Our mission? A quick lick of paint to cover up the graffiti under the bridge and spruce up the giant gas pipes next to it, ready for some new artwork as part of the #walkcyclefestival.

We quickly got to work, scrubbing off the old paint on the pipes, eliminating various witty remarks from the bridge, and getting quite a few cheers from passers-by, who were glad to see their path getting a bit of a tidy-up! The paint went on quite quickly, mostly where intended, although some of us cough were doing a rather good smurf impression by the end. We also had the chance to demonstrate some great Crystal-Maze style teamwork as we guided Paul, who was carefully balancing to reach the last patches at the top - left a bit, right a bit... got it!

Resisting the temptation to leave our own hand (or paw) prints as a signature, we then went home, leaving things a bit smarter than when we arrived. A great blank canvas ready for tomorrow - watch this space!
