Why nettle for anything less

These superstars braved the hot weather and cleared the paths from nettles, now people visiting won't have to dodge the nettles on the path that leads to the beautiful space.

We gathered outside Glass Mill in the sunshine, a slightly smaller group than expected but that turned out to be perfect for the task. It was a slightly longer run over to Wildcat Wilderness and in the heat - everyone did AMAZING!

Our task for this evening was weed bashing the nettles and weeds that were hanging over the path and catching unsuspecting legs (like mine, after all these years I've still not learnt to wear long leggings at Wildcat). Everyone got quickly stuck in and the path was cleared in no time! We even found a frog.

We said goodbye to the cyclists and made our way slowly back to Glass Mill which led to the realisation that there are limited road crossings (time for breaks) on this route. We stick together as a group on our group runs so we stopped to catch our breath and adjust jackets.

Next weeks group run is postering for Food2You – we are going to be heading off in groups in different directions to help spread the word about this wonderful cause - sign up here.
