This week's challenge to the group was to delve into the magical world of the animal kingdom. We did this by using Strava and other mapping apps, to draw and map out the best animal we could manage.

Some used parks, others used roads, some ran short distances and other like Neil ran 12km and managed to make the whole route look like a Rhino! That's really good going!

We had a Snail, Armadillo, Goose, Dog, Dolphin, Unicorn, Squirrel, Polar Bear, Spider, Fox, Fish, barking Dog, Giraffe/Llama and a Rhino.....

Pretty impressive that nobody did the same animal type...apart from the dog of course, but one was a body the other a head!

Many animals looked like they could have been something else too, so the gang showed great creativity and fluidness! I reckon we may be able to start up our own Rorshach test and make millions!

It was like a two day Safari, with entries coming in from Tuesday morning, all the way up to Wednesday evening.

John's challenge this week....well, that was to dress up as one of the animals that we had drawn up....and after mulling it around the group decided on Rhino, but to make it more magical, decided a chubby Unicorn would be better...that's essentially what a Rhino is, right Caprice?

We will have to wait for photos of John dressed up as he is doing his cycle this evening....we can't wait!

Well done everyone, hope you've all recovered from the weird looks you got running around in circles!

Something different next week, so stay tuned!
