Report written by Paul Salman
Nine natty runners ran to help Stephens House and Gardens by posting over 400 leaflets to local houses. Its a beautiful park with a great cafe and a large children’s play area. They have lots of activities for families over the summer. Check out the web site. Stephens House & Gardens It was the least we could do as the charity had just be robbed of a large amount of cash from the bank holiday weekend. A devastating blow to its finances and everyone involved. It was a joy to warm up in Cherry tree woods and a beautiful day to run. We set off with Jody as back marker. After short run we split into two teams and using the leap frog technique delivered our leaflets. We had a short interlude , re-staging the iconic Abbey Road Beatles album cover on a local zebra crossing, much to the perplexity of most runners. (see photo of fab four) We ran back through nearby woods and brooks to end with a warm down at the Phoenix cinema just under 6km. Well done everyone involved ....and the fab four! Fab four
