A HUGE #GGSHEFF welcome to new runner:
Give him a whoop, hola, cheer and follow!
Great to meet with you and have a chat Ben, hope you're back again with Steph in the near future!
This weeks task took us back to Lynwood Gardens, a lovely section of a re-routed part of the Sustrans National Cycle Network (NCN) that keeps people off the busier Glossop Road.
We'd not been back for a while, so we got stuck straight in with the following tasks:
- Graffiti removal
- Sign cleaning
- Leaf sweeping
- Looping and chopping back
In a short space of time the path was looking a whole lot clearer and the line of sight much improved, making it much more accessible and less intimidating for any users.
We also hear that the next task with Sustrans would be Simon's last as he passes the reigns to John Kirkword who will be leading on all things Sustrans and goodgym in 2025. He has kindly offered to buy us a drink at the end of the next Sustrans task at The Durham Ox on Dec 2nd. I think it should be us buying him a drink for the efforts he's put in though!
Until next time, happy running :)
