Last week we were strength in numbers as we launched with dozens of runners attending, completing a range of tasks, with a buzz and hype!

For week 2, we settled down and had a more quiet affair as many local runners headed off on a Castleman trail run, we could really get to chat and relax! Well that is after a few laps of the cricket pitch to work on different paced running as a bit of a warm up!

We headed over to meet Toni from BCP who guided us to the task in hand - weeding a newly planted area around the lake and 'mulching!'

Kirsty H was keen to learn what 'mulching' was and can now officially add to her CV she can 'mulch'!

Darryl joined us on his first run and the only male of the evening he soon found running friends in common with others.

Best thing I heard tonight, without a doubt was that Shelley has doubled her lung capacity over the past year since taking up running - what an advert to keep running! Blooming amazing that is - but then Shelley just is!

Ann and Kirsty W, also returning from last week were quick to sort the weeds from the flowers, Ann saving me from pulling a weed that had been fondly named Netty and apparently was to remain!

We finished with a big pile of weeds at the side and an area mulched - all part of the work to improve the park under the lottery grant. A park that is enjoyed by hundreds of people every day - Even as we were there, there was a cricket match in place and a running group doing speed work as well as frequent walkers and runners past us.

Nice work team!
