We gathered on a sunny summer's evening at the Showroom in Sheffield to survey some fish passes. We were raring to get running and witness some weirs working. Armed with smart phones, pens and paper, and the energy of caffeinated children we set off on our journey downstream. The weirs we surveyed were Lady's Bridge, Walk Mill, Burton, and Sanderson's.

River me timbers!

The condition of the fish passes and weirs was as follows: Lady's Bridge- Clear at the top, clear at the bottom, flowing, no damage. There were some builder's lights on the weir. Walk Mill- Clear at the top, clear at the bottom, flowing, no damage. Channel on left of pass blocked. Burton - Clear at the top, clear at the bottom, flowing, no damage. Sanderson's- Clear at the top, clear at the bottom, flowing, no damage. There was a lot of bird life on this weir.

As this was quite a long run at over 7km a fitness session was passed over, with the exception of a few squats for a photo op!

Upon returning to the Showroom we fully stretched off before popping in for refreshments and rest.

On a chilly and windy Mon eve we set off from our home of The Showroom cinema via the Five Weirs Walk route to meet with Gerry from Sustrans.

Gerry met us on site, the other side of the Spider's Bridge with tools and other Sustrans volunteers.

Our task was to clear litter and other detritus from a section of the National Cycle Network along the Five Weirs Walk route.

We got straight to it, picking litter, sweeping and scraping debris and bagging it up ready for the council to collect at a later date.

After a good session the patch was looking much better.

As we said our goodbyes Generous Gerry gave us some delicious homemade parkin to give us some energy for the return leg.

Until next time, happy running :)

It seems to always be sunny in Sheffield at the moment - today was a very warm one! Mrs J's garden was full of colour with the beautiful bluebells in full display. But what does the warm weather bring? Weeds!

Our task for the afternoon was to remove as much weeds and grass from between the paving all the way up the garden. After a bit of experimentation deciding on the best tool for the job (Mrs J had every choice imaginable in her shed of tricks!), we got the technique down with a hoe and a wire brush.

A hour and a half later, it was looking much smarter and after a little more chat and a cold glass of water with Mrs J, we were on our way.

A huge GG SHF welcome to new runner Gary who joined us this week from Kelham Island. We hope you had a good time and will be back for more soon Gary, great to meet you.

With Karen away this week we met with MARVELOUS MALCOLM who met us on site in Burngreave with pickers, bags and hoops at the ready.

We got tooled up and headed initially downhill on the right hand side of Kilton Hill, collecting cans separately so they can be recycled. There was plenty to go at with a lot of litter that looked like it had been there for quite some time.

Once we got to the bottom, we headed straight to the top Beatles Helter Skelter style and even got thanked by a passing local resident taxi driver who stopped to thank us and show his appreciation which is always nice to get.

At the top of the hill we got bags tied up and left next to a public bin ready for collection.

We said our goodbyes to Malcolm and thanked him for his time and also brief Geography lesson of Sheffield.

Until next time, happy running :)

On a Bank Holiday Mon we set off from The Showroom to meet the FANTASTIC Jess of REGATHER & Common Thread fame to help REGATHER with a big steaming pile of wood chip that needed spreading around Club Garden a lovely community space used for and by the community.

On arrival Jess talked us through the task options for the evening and got us tooled up with rakes and gloves.

Filmon and Tom got straight into the big steaming pile of wood chip and spread it far and wide to ensure the surrounding trees and soil were feeling equally loved and nourished!

Annie got to clearing one of the planted areas and Jess was on with various tasks including litter picking, sweeping and wood chip donut creation around the trees.

After a descent session the area was looking a lot better for some GG love. We packed down and made our ways home under a very threatening looking raincloud which just about stayed away.

Until next time, happy running :)
