It was the Raleigh launch tonight with them now partnering with GG. Unfortunately our choccies haven't arrived just yet, so hopefully next week!

It was lovely to have Olivia of GoodGym Greenwich with us tonight who was 'fresh' from her London Marathon exploits! It goes without saying, she was one of our walkers tonight!

Laura and Olivia set off on their walk to the canal, with the runners not far behind. One of the first things we found was a key on the towpath floor, we decided to leave it where it was as hopefully somebody may come back looking for it.

In total on a pleasant, yet cool evening we collected three bags of rubbish, which our photographer Eve papped for us.

Once done we strolled with the walkers for a while before we ran back to 1000 Trades, whilst taking in a loop by Colmore Row, so Ben could retrieve his bag just in time before his office closed.

On returning it was a quick stretch whilst we waited a couple of minutes for our walkers, so I would say that was near on perfect timing!
