11 runners embarked on a bit of a marathon to do some litter picking and path clearing at Beaumont Leys Library.

Its seems I sure pick my nights to be away as once again it was a foul one weather wise - freeeeeezing!!!

Lindsay led and Jim and Ben ran the tail - the route from the West End to Boggy Fleas is not without its hills. Our Newbies from the starter run Rachel and Stu were welcomed to their second run and it was also a welcome back to Surinder after a few weeks absence.

The advance party of Lee, Jeanette and Surinder had already arrived when the main group joined them and there appeared to have been a bit of miscommunication between the task master and the duty staff - we were expected but they didnt seem too sure of what had been agreed for us to do.

Despite this hiccup and judging by the pictures it looks like we did the right task after all as several bags of litter were in evidence and there was certainly work taking place on the offending paving.

I should imagine the group were glad to get back on the road to try to warm up as it really was bitter out there tonight. The feedback from Lindsay was... "as usualy everyone gave 100%" - nothing short of what I would have expected so a big well done to you all.
