Back to a classic GG task helping out Sustrans litterpicking and cutting back vegetation on our nation cycle routes!
It was grand to welcome a new runner - Mark! As our task wasn't too far from our starting point, we chose to take a little detour to add some extra kilometers on to the run. Obviously, because this is Sheffield, we hit a mega hill along the way but this small but perfectly formed team handled it like the bosses they are.
Whenever we litter pick, we like to start a competition for the best find; one shoe and a toy diver who watch over us whilst we worked. 5 bags of rubbish and 45 minutes later we had a clear and tidy cycle route!
We ran a more direct route back to base and had a good stretch out. Job well done!
