On a very muggy Sheffield eve we headed out to meet Sustrans Simon and the 'owner' of the patch of the NCN we were working on; Jerry.
Simon had arrived on his legendary trailer full of all the tools of the trade from pickers and hoops to spades and brushes, all delivered and returned using sustainable transport.
We got stuck in with some of us litter picking and others weeding and shoveling all sorts of detritis into bin bags for the council to collect at a later date.
By the time we were done this stretch of the National Cycle Network was looking much more inviting to all who would use it.
Whilst on site we had a number of joggers and cyclists thank us for our efforts which is always nice.
Until next time, happy running! :)
