Sheffield Report written by Lucy J
It was a hot evening down at the Showroom I'm Sheffield! 8 people gathered to run down to Lynwood Gardens where we met up with our friends at Sustrans.
****Big shout out to Linda for being our backmarker and photographer.
Simon and John from sustrans gave us an introduction to the fantastic things they do maintaining active travel routes across the country.
****NB my fact about sustrans including bridleways may be fake news.
Thanks to all the rain (and a the odd sunshine) Lynwood Gardens was looking magnificent and a little overgrown! Our task: to clear the path - lopping, trimming and sweeping. Once we'd started a cyclist arrived on the route - but it was no regular cyclist - it was Annie on a bike coming to join us. That made us 9! Lynwood Gardens is a beautiful space that is partly canopied by greenery and has a lovely little pond.
Tools were handed out and we got to work. After a solid 45 mins of clearing Simon and John were more than satisfied - we did a stellar job clearing the path and making it a safer space to cycle and walk. We even cleared the cycle network signpost that was a little lost in the greenery.
We thanked Simon and headed off up the path we'd just cleared to admire our work.
****We wiggled our way back to Showroom but not before a musical stop outside the Light Cinema - if you've not been yet it's a must!
Great work everyone, looking forward to seeing you all soon!

The BIG 50 at Healey Peoples Park
On a fairly mild Feb eve a FANTASTIC FIVE set off from The Showroom Cinema to meet up with the rest of the gabble at our old friends Heeley People’s Park.
A HUGE GG welcome to new runner Sarah who joined us on her first GG run. Hope to see you back again in the future soon.
Our friend Rob the Parky had been unlucky getting a new load of woodchip for the playground area, but the old chip needed turning over in any case.
We got straight to it with fork and rake turning over the old for the new to fluff up and increase the longevity of the playground surface.
With decent numbers it didn’t take us long to fluff the four areas of woodchip and pop tools back tidy and safe for Rob.
This left us with some time for some park fitness which of course had to involve slides as we were in a playground!
We got in some quick sets of proper star jumps and knee ticks before racing to the slide of choice for some strong weeeeeeee’s!
Those of us that headed back to The Showroom stopped on for a couple of beers each and tales of swim trips gone by, clear waters, cold waters, jellyfish and chaffing!
Until next time, happy running! :)
