In new form multi active travel goodgym style two of our party cycled to and from tonights task and three of us ran a more than likely more hilly than necessary route to tonights task.

This week was a new task to a care home where we painted some garden furniture, ready for the residents to enjoy the outdoor spring and summer that seems to be with us.

Tarj and Joseph also attempted to plant a tree, however discovered that there was not enough soil for the tree to be planted in and hit rubble unfortunately.

A great new task and some decent mileage in there with a longer run than normal!

Good work everyone, until next time...

Happy running :)

Fantastic to welcome a new runner tonight, please give it up for...

Phoebe

Give Phoebe a whoop, hola and cheer!

We headed over to Pistmoor Road this evening to meet with MARVELOUS MALCOLM who had already been on site for a while getting the worst of the litter onto the pavement for us to swoop in and take the 'glory picks'.

There were some true treats in store with some very old rubbish which was fast becoming part of the geology of the area, had we not have got in there!

A decent pile was presented at the end for the council to later come and pick up.

Until next time, happy running! :)

We had something a bit different this week. It was a tough one!

The now annual Park Hill Uprise Urban Hill Climb organised by Adam Simmonite of Sheffield Urban Cyclocross.

More details on the event and entry can be found here.

The main aim of the eve was to try and gain back as much of the cobbles from nature as possible. This is a fantastic area, but it's not shown so much love and the once wide cobblestone paths get grown over by weeds and moss, making it less accessible to people and particularly for this event slippery and not as safe as it should be.

ENTER GOOD GYM!

Armed with sharp spades, brushes and snow plows, kindly borrowed from SUSTRANS SIMON, we got straight to work after meeting Adam on site who had already put over an hours shift in!

By the end of our time the path was looking much safer and wider, ready for the main event this coming Saturday! If you can make it down to enter or even just to support on the sidelines it will be sure to be a great event!

Following the efforts some of us headed to The Rutland Arms for refreshments and a first experience of the ledgendary 'Rutty Butty' - All the carbs!
