On a chilly and dark Mon eve we welcomed three new runners to the @GGSHEFF family, big cheers for;

  • Dolors
  • Darren Wake
  • A. Fundora

On a longer run than usual we got going and headed out to our location of Archer Drive to help SENSATIONAL SIMON of SUSTRANS fame to clear a section of overgrown NCN.

We all got straight to work with a combination of tasks;

  • Litter picking
  • Cutting back
  • Sweeping
  • Shovelling
  • Moving branches

Litter, by litter the path was looking more and more useable with passer by's in awe of the great work that was happening. Despite advise you may have heard not to trim your bush in the dark, with trusty head torches on it was not a problem for our crack team of runners who made quick work of the overgrowth!

Once our time was up we headed home on the longer but thankfully flatter route compared to most weeks.

Fitness was squeezed in on route back with some high knees, suicides and squat jumps as we were struggling for time on the longer run.

After a brief stretch and debrief we got a pro lit group shot before heading inside for a drink or two.

Until next time, happy running :)
