It was fantastic to welcome a new runner to GG SHF!

A HUGE welcome to Monika please give Monika a follow and a cheer! Monika even ran all the way from Eccy road and back as well as doing the group run and this was her first run for some time! Excellent work Monika we hope to see you again next week!

On a drizzly, dark eve we headed out from The Showroom Cinema, alongside the river Don and over the Spiders bridge to meet with Gerry & William from the Walk, Wheel & Cycle Trust (ex Sustrans). We were welcomed and briefed on the areas that were in need of some attention and got straight to it!

The main job was litter picking over the Spiders bridge and alongside the river Don, all the way to the road. We did a thorough job and picked up plenty of rubbish and made the route look much more welcoming again to all users. Once we brought bags back to our bag drop location we all got involved in bagging up a big load of dried leaves which were acting as a net to collect rubbish on the route. We bagged these up with the help of David who had joined us on bike and popped all the bags at the collection point which Gerry reported on the Fix My Street app.

As a reward Gerry very generously offered us all some homemade ginger biscuits which were absolutely delicious!

Until next time, happy running! :)

Well it wasn't as bad as last time..

We met at a very specific W3W location, with thanks to Dave for providing us all with the meeting spot and technical abilities to do so.

The original idea was to litter pick Kilton Hill which we did, but it wasn't as bad as usual so we got all the way to the top and were able to take a left downhill on Andover Street and do both sides all the way to the bottom!

Karen was collecting cans to take to be recycled and to earn some dosh to go back in to the Pitsmoor Pickers pot for other litter picking equipment for the future.

Thanks to all for coming out and Gavin we hope to see your partner out fit and well joining us in the future.

Until next time, happy running! :)
