Welcome first timer Marie who joined us this evening.

A trip up north to Urban Wild Places was the prescription tonight in three groups led by Aidan, Simon and Caroline.

Some evil git had broken in over the week and nicked loads of tools so task owner Hilary had rushed out and gathered what she could for our visit tonight. A few spanners and other tools meant we were able to continue dismantling the metal tables and do a bit of tidying and sweeping up in rotating small groups while those not working got involved with some strength/aerobic mix circuits, some technical running drills and a burpee challenge.

Back at base we rewarded ourselves with homemade flapjacks. Yum.

Our debate was the most-annoying thing about running. Lots of good suggestions including blisters, having to wash so many clothes, shoelaces coming undone, cyclists and pedestrians. Grrrr.

Great good deeding all,
Simon
