It was fantastic to welcome back expert gardener Adrian who we hope will be able to make it back to us on a regular basis again.

Also brilliant to welcome new runner and New Zeeland Guide Sam who came along for the first time and seemed to enjoy his time.

And a HUGE thanks and well done to Jenny all the way from Dronfield for inspiring and motivating musician supreme Joseph to come on down.

We had to have a bit of a re-jig last minute after our planned run to help Common Thread was canceled a day before the task. We re-adjusted and headed to Park Hill to pick up litter pickers, bags and hoops and do a quick circuit around part of the Park Hill estate up Duke Street and down South Street.

As ever there was a lot to go at with all of us getting a decent haul.

After heading back to base at The Showroom, some of us headed in for a drink and some food and some headed home.

A big thanks to everyone for making it down and for all their efforts, it's all really appreciated!

Until next time, happy running! :)

Brogan, Mike, Kevin, and I were faced with the rather formidable task of clearing the leaf litter from the long gennel near Abbeydale Rd. We turned up armed with shovels, brooms and bags, and quickly organised ourselves into teams to clear our way up the cut-through. We alternated ourselves between shovelling, sweeping and bagging to keep it interesting.

A local councillor was so impressed with our efforts to clear the long-standing problem of a footpath that he came out to thank us personally.

After spending a solid 2 hours scooping the layers of gunk up, we had filled a whopping 43 big bin bags between us.
