A busy night in Leicester as England were playing an international football game at home. Jim found an alternative route along the great central way to avoid the hoards of fans. This was a slightly longer route but a really good workout due to some hills. Mel and Jeanette, still with Great North miles in their legs and Michaela who still has an injury, joined the task at Saffron Acres. Bex joined us for her second task and it was great to have Elaine joining us too. The task was to clear brambles from the edge of the orchard and we had been invited to help ourselves to a few apples. Dave was first to sample and said they were delicious, Jen followed suit taking a few for an apple crumble! Unfortunately the only thing that Frank took away from the task was a few bites from the bugs. The team were soon hard at work cutting, chopping and removing the pesky brambles. With refreshments served, the run back along the great central way commenced before it got dark. Another successful task completed.
