Our first leafleting for a while for one of our favourite organisations, not at all because they are very, very close to our start location at the lovely Queen Square. We also had the largest walking group so far.

Sarah and Marky were ready for us at Faithspace with bundles of leaflets and access to the target tower blocks to spread the news of a community bring-and-share picnic with fun and games to mark the Jubilee.

What could be easier than leafleting a tower block? You start at the top and work your way down. Simples. If you're in the right bit of the right block, which it turns out is really tricky with magic staircases that spew you out into other blocks with no warning - Hogwarts isn't a patch on this! Richard G was very brave leafleting Room 101 having backmarked along with David H following favourite Scouse run leader Vaguely Northern Darren.

We're pretty sure we leafleted everywhere just once but we could be very mistaken! We got to enjoy some amazing views from the top floors, too.

There was time for a bit of a longer run back but we still beat the rain and had big smiles after our urban adventure.
