Whilst Melanie was away on a(nother) parkrun adventure, GoodGym Bristol were back in Queen Square preparing to run or walk to the City Centre.

Brief lap around the Redcliff section of the floating Harbour to get some distance in before nipping into Broadmead for BHF to help get Lexi's weekly distance on target. Limited random finds in the depths of BHF’s clothes hanging room this week (boo!). Frances brought along amazing biscuits to celebrate her 52nd GoodGym session (copyright Richard B)

The air was cool and full of promise. Our intrepid heroes stepped out into the night unsure of what the night would bring. Step followed step as we made our way to the F of BH. Warmth glorious warmth was the cry as we arrived. We signed our names like rockstars and made our way up. Clothes meet hangers, hangers meet clothes. A match made in heaven, or hell, when used underwear was found (play scream noises). Fine biscuits were provided by Lady Frances before we made our merry way into the night. (copyright Richard G)

This will be updated by someone who was there, by the method of you leaving a comment and hopefully we can build some sort of timeline of the fun that happened, and I'll transfer the sentences to the story here :-)

All about the running, collecting badges, parkruns and any other arbitrary thing that makes the effort even more rewarding!
