3 fantastic Goodgymmers braved the cold, icey start to run across the Meadows, which was looking very picturesque.

Along the canal we targeted our first lock with plenty of graffiti marks to start spraying with GRAFFITI GO! Hand delivered my the Canal and River Trust, cheers. We let the spray work its magic then wiped off, not quite like a cleaning TV advert, some elbow grease and all my rags and drinking water were needed. Soon the lock was back to looking itself its beautiful natural surroundings.

We ran along the tow path spraying the Canal and River Trust signs with GRAFFITI GO! As we passed, then on our return we wiped them clean and continued back to Everards Meadows. It was a pleasure to run with both Jimmy and Steve in such a natural beauty spot, with the sun glimmering down giving us a tiny bit of warmth.

First outing for my brand new first aid kit, so pleased I didn't have to use it! Even more pleased I didn't have to use the throw line! Keep up the great work we're smashing the January Challenge.
