Unfortunately Vicky had to pull out last minute when someone decided to set alight the allotments (hope not too much damage done and the firefighters were heros) but 5 of us met on time and completed a loop of the Ings - a mild night with a nearly full moon and plenty of firework displays to admire. Often difficult to get out on these dark nights but we all agreed it was just what was needed, keep your eye out for the next one - all paces and abilities welcome and we particularly welcome anyone that prefers not to run alone....

Tonight we met for our bonfire special. We started by discussing the best thing about autumn, where leaves features heavily, then set off to Wild Things Forest school. Ed led the runners, Stef guided a walking group and a few made their way on bike.

When we arrived Emma met us with a long and varied list of jobs ranging from sawing wood and raking leaves, to removing ivy and putting up bunting.

Once the tasks were complete we headed over to the hill for fun fitness hill reps. Some of the techniques were questionable for the exercises, in order to get back to the team quickly! The winner were rewarded with extendable forks for the bonfire.

After fitness we headed back to the fire pit and had marshmallow or camembert smores. Martin also brought a tub of aptly named heroes, because thats what you all are!

can anyone guess who's knees are on the Photo?
