Cut and Run

Six runners joined this task to tame a trailing willow tree that was growing out of bounds.

First was a 3km run out of town and along the A6 cycle path to reach our task. Then on arrival we armed ourselves with handy folding pruning saws and set to work.

After 30 mins the old spreading willow tree was reined in a bit, all the cuttings piled up by the roadside and all the freshly exposed litter collected up to leave the place nice and tidy.

All that remained was the run back into town, helped along by some sprint intervals along the way.
