A huge GG SHF welcome to new runner Gary who joined us this week from Kelham Island. We hope you had a good time and will be back for more soon Gary, great to meet you.

With Karen away this week we met with MARVELOUS MALCOLM who met us on site in Burngreave with pickers, bags and hoops at the ready.

We got tooled up and headed initially downhill on the right hand side of Kilton Hill, collecting cans separately so they can be recycled. There was plenty to go at with a lot of litter that looked like it had been there for quite some time.

Once we got to the bottom, we headed straight to the top Beatles Helter Skelter style and even got thanked by a passing local resident taxi driver who stopped to thank us and show his appreciation which is always nice to get.

At the top of the hill we got bags tied up and left next to a public bin ready for collection.

We said our goodbyes to Malcolm and thanked him for his time and also brief Geography lesson of Sheffield.

Until next time, happy running :)

On a Bank Holiday Mon we set off from The Showroom to meet the FANTASTIC Jess of REGATHER & Common Thread fame to help REGATHER with a big steaming pile of wood chip that needed spreading around Club Garden a lovely community space used for and by the community.

On arrival Jess talked us through the task options for the evening and got us tooled up with rakes and gloves.

Filmon and Tom got straight into the big steaming pile of wood chip and spread it far and wide to ensure the surrounding trees and soil were feeling equally loved and nourished!

Annie got to clearing one of the planted areas and Jess was on with various tasks including litter picking, sweeping and wood chip donut creation around the trees.

After a descent session the area was looking a lot better for some GG love. We packed down and made our ways home under a very threatening looking raincloud which just about stayed away.

Until next time, happy running :)
