On a beautiful evening in Westminster we decided to take on yet another long run deep into the North of the borough to see our friends at The Avenues Youth Centre.

Our task? To give a room a deep clean in preparation for our return in two weeks where we will be giving it a fresh lick of paint.

A quick briefing about the task at hand, a bit of health and safety and of course a promise to everyone that we would get them back safe.

Now some may be intimidated by the distance of an 11k round trip so ONLY on evenings like this we take our oysters with us and some jump on the train when they feel they have done as much as they can.

We left the uni and headed down to the Avenues at a steady pace all arriving safely, smiling and wishing the sun would come out so we didnt have to wear tights and padded jackets lol...

We were greeted by Marcus and Carol who told us all about the centre and how much they appreciated what we do and we were off.

Jay clothes and special spray at the ready. Walls, wiped and washed, floor swept, skirting boards spotless, windows shining and all was well.

A few sips of water, a goodbye and we were thanked for allllll our wonderful work and we were offfffffff.

We broke into two groups, one running back to base and the other running half way and guess what the plan was? to arrive back at exactly the same time....

Did we? hmmmmmmmmm, maybe ;-)

Thanks for coming, hopefully see you allllll next week...
