It was good to work in the shade of the Nore Barn Woods, on a sweltering hot day. We cleared brambles and nettles that were encroaching on the paths.

We finished at 11am to hold the AGM of the Friends of Nore Barn Woods, with drinks and refreshments following the formal business.

A lovely chatty task, with many hands making light work.

It was a very warm evening, with a lot of hard graft - I hope everyone enjoyed their currys as part of their recovery!

After a slightly BadGym run, (Dave wielding spades certainly looked a bit sus!)we arrived at the Hub and got stuck in to breaking up some very dry soil, then shoveling it into smaller bags to be carried to an accessible exit for PCC to collect. Danger Dave, Lucy, Andy and Katie took turns shoveling and carrying. There was even a race with rubble, and a certain amount of cheating was definitely noted!

Judy and Val did a sterling job picking up litter and finding a decent number of lost toys too!

We even had time for a hula-hoop competition before we headed off - congratulations to Lucy and Katie for their winning efforts!

Well done to all of those who took part in today's Monday Miles - that was a scorcher!

Dave, Alice and I joined the Relay Your Way team for a quick 1km leg around Hilsea Lines. This was my first run back after injury, so the short distance seemed perfect... until I then had to run back again to collect the car as one of our team was very sweaty and grumpy post run - I'll let you guess who!! 😉

Katie made the most of Transition Day school run with a 9 mile cycle. Val walked 10km and somehow managed to resist an icecream, whilst Jane embraced a pub pit-stop on her 4-miler.

Our top distance today was covered by Judy and her pals over in Austria, who completed a 19km leg of the Lechweg Trail - and sent some beautiful photos.

As always with Monday Miles, it's not about the distance, just taking a little bit of time to squeeze some activity in to your day. Nice work, everyone!
