I'll keep it brief this week as we had an odd set of circumstances bring us together to meet at the top of Tulse Hill.

To get things started there was a huge incident on the South Circular with police closing off the entire section at the bottom of Tulse Hill and AA was stuck on the other side of it unable to move forward or back. Luckily two things aligned: 1) New Task Force member and now qualified Run Leader Joao was attending tonight 2) I always keep a big jacket in the car (more on this in a sec)

Decision made I needed to park up and grab the flyers for tonight and get a very short distance up the road to the task. Jo meanwhile would meet Vicky at Papa's and run up while our walkers Marie-Noelle and Paul would meet us there directly as did Lasso.

The squad was ready and we did our intros and favourite holiday destinations (Tierra de Fuego, Machu Picchu, CYPRUS! Maldives, Swansea....) and set off into the estates around St Martin's to deliver GROAD's flyers.

We didn't have fobs so we were reliant on residents to let us in and at one point half the team ended up appearing in music video (all eyes on Tik Tok) but we got as much done as we could before everyone headed off in their own direction.

Thanks all, crisis averted and task complete - go GG Lambeth team!
