A big GG welcome to Solomon who joined us for his first run tonight. Thanks to Annie for introducing Solomon to the group. We hope to see you on another run sometime soon!

This week we were meeting Karen and her crew in Burngreave for some more litter picking action.

The streets were busy with people celebrating Eid so there was a lovely atmosphere in the area, however there was also a lot of litter to be had!

We got tooled up thanks to Karen and headed up hill in search of litter, which we didn't need to go far to find.

After not much time at all our bags were full and it was time to head back.

It was so nice to have more light and finish in the daylight, more of this to come!

Until next time, happy running! :)

Off again to join Pitsmoor pickers. The original proposed location too clean so we headed to the old faithful Spital Hill. Much litter picked and looking much better. Great to see a return visit from Filmon.

Having seen the report from another group recently having the police out and not to be outdone, we called the fire brigade! We spotted an unattended bonfire at the back of a restaurant perilously close to a lot of rubbish bins. Bonus good deed!

Well, we did get all excited about the prospect of ITV coming along to film us doing some good in Pitsmoor but alas the TV game is an unpredictable one... Hopefully next week!

Still we had a good turn out and met up with other keen pickers in Pitsmoor with the superstar that is Karen who does a fantastic job of cleaning up litter in the area and encouraging others to do the same and join here.

It was great to see some runners we've not seen for a little while.

Celine was back out, although a little under the weather, but on the mend. She got her docs checked so will be back out on Missions before too long again also!

It was not the best of weather as the title suggests, but we didn't let that dampen our spirits and got straight into clearing up ROCK STREET with other volunteer pickers.

Until next time, happy running :)

This week we headed back to ROCK ST to rock on with some litter picking of the area.

We met Karen to get bagged up and grab some pickers and got straight to it!

It really is starting to get cold out there now, so we kept it moving and thankfully were heading uphill to keep the internal radiator on.

After a good session on Rock Street we headed back down the hill to drop bags, grab a photo and return our equipment to Karen.

A great session once again and always lovely to support Karen with the constant efforts she puts in to keep the area clean and litter free.

Until next time, happy running! :)

Tonights task had us heading to Rock Street to meet Karen from Pitsmoor Pickers and some friends to help clear Rock St which can get littered up!

Once we found Karen who was already picking away, we got tooled up with bags, pickers and hoops and headed up hill on either side of the road, picking as we went.

Karen was on cans, so we collected seperate piles of these to be recycling in the future and cashed in to pay for other litter picking equipment.

At the end of the session Rachel very kindly offered us all some treats that were left over from her 100th Park Run celebrations at the weekend. They were DELICIOUS and very much appreciated, thank you again Rachel!

Until next time, happy running! :)

3 women ran to Pittsmoor. Met up with Karen and her friendly and helpful volunteers. There was fly tipping. sleeping bag and loads of cans, bottles and more rubbish. We found 2 pairs of shades , both in good working order for us to pose.
