Meanwhile at Westminster due to a late cancellation we headed down to our dear friend Andrew at Rhythms of Life to help him sort through some clothes for rough sleepers and tidy up an area that is currently being used to store food which is also handed out to rough sleepers.

We met at 615 of Regents Street and as usual by 630 our briefing was done and dusted and we set off in search of a quiet stretch of road in this ridiculous heat.

Weaving in and out of jolly pub goers and sun searchers we hit a nice rhythm on the back streets only stopping for red lights and traffic jams.

We arrived safely and greeted the ever cheerful Andrew with the simple message, "WE are only here for half an hour Andrew" lol. He laughed, gave us a tour of the building and told us what needed to be done.

Move clothes from A-B, move food from A-B and the fun part clean all floors everywhere so thats exactly what we did.

Half an hour later the place smelt like an alpine forest and everything was where it should have been.

He waved us, we did some amazing calf burning activation drills a few sprints in the now beautiful rain and headed back to base just in time for tea. A few stretches and we were out.

Thanks to everyone who came out to play, hopefully see you all next week...
