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! :)

After an initial 'design concept' visit we returned to the Sustrans Sheffield lock up to finish what we had started and make the lock up more organised and in doing so make it better for other volunteers to quickly grab what they needed tool wise before heading out to improve and maintain our fantastic National Cycle Network!
We welcomed a new runner this week. Give a whoop, hola, cheer and follow to:
Thanks for joining us Nathanael and hope to see you back next week!
We split the group as the space was small and litter was at large! Some got to picking the litterbug hotspots whilst some of us got on with finishing tidying and organising the lock up.
Rachel did a fantastic job finishing the tool racking, ready for tools to be safely organised and maximise space in the lock up.
Tom and Annie set about re-organising other areas of the lock up to maximise the efficency of the space!
Annie was even planning colour schemes for the walls!
After we had spent our time there, the place was looking more organised than ever and ready for future efficient and organised volunteering!
Nice work everyone!

6 Goodgymmers run across the 4 Weird of Sheffield. Did check ups, taken photos. discussed various routes to take and followed Health and Safety Regulations. A very hot evening but very enjoyable. Then got treated to cool ice creams to cool us down.

3 Goodgymmers ran to Pittsmoor and met up with Danielle and 2 more Pittsmoor volunteers. We split into 2 teams. The 3 Goodgymmers collected litter and a bag full of cans on the main road where the Takeaways and Restaurants were. We were greeted by the locals and wishing us 'Hapoy Eid'. Some even started to help us filling our litter bags and praised us for doing a good deed. It was a nice. sunny evening and we chatted to some of the locals. It was a pleasant task.

6 Goodgymmers worked really hard turning over all the woodchip over. Hard work but enjoyable in the sunshine for a change. We completed all 4 areas of the playground. parky Rob was well impressed by our team effort. After the tasks we end up eating chips off London Road at Shawarma. Then I found a lovely Wooden Giraffe in a skip and adopted it willingly.
