In true Mancunian fashion, tonight's run took place in constant rain!

Despite the downpour, Peter and Ben made the fairly rookie mistake of loading their bags with lots and lots of heavy tins, jars, and cartons, forgetting that we would need to run with it for 2.3 miles down to Hulme to the drop-off point.

We had:

  • Lots of jam
  • UHT milk
  • Pasta sauce
  • A big tub of peanut butter (smooth)
  • Rice pudding
  • Tinned vegetables
  • Tinned meat
  • Spaghetti hoops
  • Other non-perishables

Despite the weighted loads, we had a good run down to the big ASDA in Hulme with rain, and splash from the vehicles up on the Mancunian Way, keeping us soaked for the duration. While doing the drop off and getting a selfie outside, it was interesting to see a group of police officers getting keys cut using the Timpson's self service machine there - only the best and most secure of course.

Despite the rain, we were all smiles by the end, hoping that small good deeds can make a difference in the local community.
