Eight brilliant people came out on a very mild Monday evening to run over 8km for Canal & River Trust!

After everyone had gathered we headed outside and did a quick warm-up. We talked about the news:

• Community Mission coming up on the 2nd March at Clitterhouse Farm House
• parkrun takeover at Finsbury Park with pacing opportunities from 40 - 20 minutes
• European trip to Sofia

It was just over 4km to the Brent Feeder at Stonebridge so quite a long one but we all coped really well and kept up a good pace. We bumped into our old friend Colin from the Old Police Station, counted hundreds of the new public electric bikes and at Roundwood Park ran through the remnants of a fun fair! We did think we might stop to ask them if we could have a go but we figured we should go to our task first... maybe on the way back!

Once we reached our site we split into two teams - the dark side and the light side with Liz taking the dark side team by virtue of her brighter headtorch and Tabitha the ligher side. We worked hard for fifteen minutes scouring the area for litter. By the end we had four big black bags filled with litter and we hadn't even started on the litter in the canal! Great work everyone!

With that it was time to run back, we were getting a bit weary - it's been a while since we've had a long run - but everyone powered on. When we got to Roundwood sadly the fun fair was completely closed which made it all quite eerie!

Once back to base we stretched off and then headed for a drink! A great session - thanks everyone!

Cheers, Pritesh
