Twelve runners ran 4.1k to clear some compost from the Baddow Scouts site.

Another warm evening saw twelve of us run to the Great Baddow scouts where some compost and weeds had been dumped on their site.

There were 5 shovels so we split into teams, one with a shovel and one with a bag, the others breaking up sticks so that they could be moved too. we worked so fast and efficiently we soon ran out of bags! a short interval followed until more bags were retrieved, then we resumed with vigor and soon filled those too!

A huge amount of compost was bagged up and moved to the other side of the site, ready for collection.

After a short squash break we headed back to the wooden bridge for some three bridge relays! a great effort by all as we swept past dog walkers and pedestrians alike in some close fought encounters.

Back for a quick stretch and we went our separate ways tired and hot but with the satisfaction of a job well done.

special mention to Lewis who managed to move house and still make it to the start of the session, to Paul who attended his first run and best of luck to Apryl who runs her 79th Marathon today!
