A huge GG SHF welcome to new runner Gary who joined us this week from Kelham Island. We hope you had a good time and will be back for more soon Gary, great to meet you.
With Karen away this week we met with MARVELOUS MALCOLM who met us on site in Burngreave with pickers, bags and hoops at the ready.
We got tooled up and headed initially downhill on the right hand side of Kilton Hill, collecting cans separately so they can be recycled. There was plenty to go at with a lot of litter that looked like it had been there for quite some time.
Once we got to the bottom, we headed straight to the top Beatles Helter Skelter style and even got thanked by a passing local resident taxi driver who stopped to thank us and show his appreciation which is always nice to get.
At the top of the hill we got bags tied up and left next to a public bin ready for collection.
We said our goodbyes to Malcolm and thanked him for his time and also brief Geography lesson of Sheffield.
Until next time, happy running :)
We meet regularly to discuss ways forward, try to encourage local businesses to clean around their premises, litter pick alone or in groups.
