The runners were outnumbered by the walkers two to one for the adventure to St Werburgh's Community Centre with Vaguely Northern Darren and Ed already hard at it when the walkers reached the "King/Queen of the Castle" bridge from Riverside Park.

The walkway around the building was one of the many areas that's seen an explosion of weeds with the warm(-ish) and decidedly wet weather. We were soon widening the walkways again and having many-a deep philosophical discussion including how to spell "doolalley", whether it stems from doodle-alley and why small creatures seem to take an aggressive bee line for Richard G. We slso all learned more about msle and female courgette flowers as well as poppies and their similarity to some sort of banana - the name escapes me.

A quick tidy up and end-of-task photo followed, including Frances who wasn"t in the pre-task "we're actually all in red t-shirts" photo, suggested by Jason. For the record, Frances was also early to the meet up, just not quite as early, and we set off at 6.25 as it's "a bit of a way" even without the lively tour checking out future potential GoodGym tasks, which was really enjoyed by everyone.

Top work and great chatting!
