Abbey (track and) Field

6 hardy runners covered a whacking 12km (in the rain) and helped Abbeyfield charity spread their message.

So happy we had so many runners this week, as it must be the wettest evening so far! Our task was perfect for the conditions though as we had a lot of running and not much resting on the cards.

The route this week took us to Bournemouth Pier and inland thought the beautiful winter gardens. Learning from our previous Abbeyfield task we headed along Surrey Road, which provided better lighting and more letterboxes for us.

As a reminder, the Abbeyfield charity provide a not-for-profit care environment for older, lonely and isolated people. They wanted us to help spread the word about their work and armed us with leaflets and a map of roads to deliver to.

We cut up through Westbourne then sped along Alumhurst Road....a very long and downwards run to the seaside. From there is was a straight and great distance back to Urban Reef HQ.

Jilly from Abbeyfield has already passed her thanks through the Facebook page.

A challenging run and task but you all smashed it - well done and thank you!
