Meanwhile in Westminster 6 brave souls braved the humidity and rain and headed down to the Sayers Croft outdoor centre out post at Paddington Recreation ground to attempt to dig a log circle, water the plants, build a compost bin and of course make the area look spick and span.

Now how did we get on? Amazingly of course.

With only a few of you this week and 10k to cover we made light work of getting out the building and we were well on our as we prayed the rain held off just a little bit longer.

Did it? Nhaaaaaa, as if the clouds would be so nice lol.

The further north west we ran the quieter the roads became which meant more chances for running real fast so that's what we did. A few cheeky intervals just before we arrived.

Unfortunately even after the lovely rain we've had the ground was still to hard to dig giant holes for giant logs so we built a compost bin, tidied and swept, litter picked, weeded and collected more logs for what will eventually be a log circles that Sayers Croft will use as a briefing area in the summer months for young people attending their workshops.

We flew through these tasks and as if by magic after breaking up into two groups we flew back to our base and headed home for the night.

Thanks for coming. Hopefully we will see you all next week.
