We were joined this week by GG newbie Laura and GG tourist Gosia – give 'em a cheer!

After a quick warm up by the side of the Phoenix, we began our 3km run to the WDP in Hendon. Damian was my trusty leader, while I back-marked.

Once at the WDP we were greeted by the team who quietly set our task before we dished out some gloves and got to work. 15 minutes later and many of the weeds were gone (but not all of the weeds, so we are going back on 19 Sept - sign up to finish the job!

We then took some pics, ran to Stephen's House to do a quick circuit in the car park, and headed home for some stretching and some biscuits.

Shout out to Freya for this week's pun.

If you are interested in joining the team for a free trip to the Phoenix to watch a movie, we have 10 free tickets for regular runners. Louis is organising this. There are five spots left, so get in touch to bagsy a spot!
