A GOOD Drenching at the Durham Ox
6 GoodGymers made their way 2.5km to help the SUSTRANS and SUSTRANS in Sheffield.

Six of us braved the Sheffield monsoon weather this eve to meet with SUSTRANS SIMON at the Durham Ox pub (not for pints) to help clear a section of notorious National Cycle Network (NCN).
Unfortunately this small dog leg section is notorious for littering and parts of of the Ox regularly falling off the old pub that has seen better days/is crumbling to the ground/was on fire not too long ago.
We took bricks and barbed wire (very carefully) off the path, swept debris and dirt to one side, had a good litter pick and chopped back some of the encroaching overgrowth to keep the path as accessible, usable, attractive and safe as possible.
I feel that by the end of our sweeping we had rolled out the red carpet for cyclists! - Celine
It was really appreciated by Simon and we'll be back with him again soon on another section of the NCN soon!
