Lockdown week 7 and some things are starting to look.. well... the same! So I decided this week to add a bit of flair to everyone's daily walks and runs with a set of challenges to complete a GG style scavenger hunt.

The challenge was to walk or run following social distancing guidelines, and collect photos of the following;

  • A street name beginning with a G

  • A post box

  • A rainbow in a window

  • A street name or building beginning with N

  • Blossom

  • Daisies

  • A pine cone/conifer cone

  • Any type of insect/bug

Louise was first out of the blocks with a fantastic effort, collecting everything in her walk home from work! There were some fantastic efforts in the following days with everyone enjoying the challenge of looking for things on their routes that have started to look a little bit similar in recent days and weeks.

Well done to everyone who had a go at this week's fitness session, especially Aimee who ended up having to have a chat to the police whilst taking her brilliant snail photo, Jon for including a gold 2012 Olympic postbox and Charlotte who scored a major lockdown win by finding a bag of flour in the supermarket on her walk.

It's the little things!....
