I was hoping for a substantial-sized "drop" today for our Tower Court Move the Masses batch delivery, and boy were we not disappointed! After having only 4 to take on Monday, there was no shortage of paper packages today.

Amy communicated with the pharmacy, Max suggested a system for sorting by postcode area, Helen took those as far afield as Skelton, Shipton, Wigginton etc, we programmed Circuit and wrote down names and we were all set!

My route was pretty local initially, and I'd done a load of drops before leaving a small radius of the pharmacy. I made it past the Ed Collective house, twice, found Mitch's road whilst looking for a cut through, and got a bit creative with my nav when I realised I had a much better idea than Google maps did.

My last drop was opposite a colleague's house so I had the chance to have a distanced chat via the upstairs window - first time we've seen each other in 6 weeks.

Finally back after a glorious cycle in the sun, and reported to our Lead Volunteer Amy that my 18 were safely delivered, only to learn we'd smashed the batch record with a great total of 64. Fab work team!!
