This week we we're back off up to Manor to help SUPER SIMON & colleagues with the upkeep of the fantastic Sustrans National Cycle Network which provides everyone with a network of multi use sustainable transport pathways to walk, run, scoot and cycle from place to place along traffic free paths enjoying the local area away from busy roads and noisey and polluting traffic.

We had a plethora of tools to choose from this week thanks to a donation of tools from Sheffield City Council and some loaned from our long term friends at REGATHER. We got straight to it after being briefed by Simon on the tasks that were needed and split into three teams;

  1. TEAM CHINESE LANTERN LITTER PICK
  2. TEAM EDGEY
  3. TEAM LOP & CUT

When it was time to call it a night the path was looking so much better and in places was now about 3 times as wide as it was originally after scraping and edging the overgrowth back to the edge of the concrete which will make it much more useable and easier for people to pass each other as well as making the network much more attractive and open, attracting more user.

Great work team!

Until next time, happy running! :)
