I rounded up the troops, called in the cavalry (Jess 😀) and plotted the route with military position so we were all set to parade through the streets posting leaflets for Homestart on the Army Estate.
The crack team of 4 took a regimented approach and blitzed the task in no time with Helen and Jen pairing up and Adam and Jess joining forces. We even avoided a 'Major' Incident with a few dogs and kept ourselves on the 'General' straight and narrow.

Jen walked to our meeting point from The Binoy to make inroads into her 10,000 daily steps. Didem and Helen soon arrived so we looked at the map, shared out the leaflets and helped ourselves to some of the chocolates (Cadbury Heroes) that the task owner kindly gave us as a Thank You.
We started out as 'Absolute Beginners' as we tried to plot a logical route through the maze of the estate.
We soon found our rhythym though and didnt feel 'Under Pressure' at all. Before long it was 7.30pm and time to call it a night so we were 'Dancing In The Streets' back to the car park.
We particularly enjoyed one street that had its Halloween decorations out and provided a great backdrop for group selfie.
Jen's step count was around 9,000 so she gladly accepted a lift back almost to her car so she could just top them up with a short walk. (Didem, Helen - I slightly surpassed 10,000 by the time I reached home).
