It seems to always be sunny in Sheffield at the moment - today was a very warm one! Mrs J's garden was full of colour with the beautiful bluebells in full display. But what does the warm weather bring? Weeds!

Our task for the afternoon was to remove as much weeds and grass from between the paving all the way up the garden. After a bit of experimentation deciding on the best tool for the job (Mrs J had every choice imaginable in her shed of tricks!), we got the technique down with a hoe and a wire brush.

A hour and a half later, it was looking much smarter and after a little more chat and a cold glass of water with Mrs J, we were on our way.

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 :)

A short but sweet run for last nights task as we headed just around the corner from our home of The Showroom Cinema to Union Street which is the home of our friends Common Thread.

We met Jess & Fran on site who got us straight onto task initially sorting some clothes into bags for their next upcoming clothes swap or for the charity shop.

Whilst this was ongoing some of us prepped for the main task of the evening which was to take an audit of the clothes rails that are used regularly at the clothes exchange events. When put away the rails can loose their sets and/or become damaged which can cause issue on the event day if complete sound sets can't be found.

We got the rails up to check they were stable and added Washi tape to the pieces to ensure all of the correct bits could be easily identified. We also added the date as a mark of when they were last checked.

It was a great job, really well managed by Jess & Fran.

At the end we were even offered some food by star chef Ben, which we were very thankful for!

Until next time, happy running!

It was great to welcome a new runner along tonight.

A BIG GGSHEFF welcome to Lindsay.

Thanks to Joseph to spreading the word and bringing new people along.

This week we met Gerry from Sustrans along with other Sustrans Rangers and volunteers to help keep an area of the National Cycle Network looking at it's best for all users to benefit from.

We got tooled up with litter pickers, brooms and snow shovels collecting litter, brushing cycle lanes and collecting fallen leaves.

There was plenty to go at and by the time we stacked up the bags at the end of the task next to the public bins we could really see the scale of how much rubbish we had liberated from these streets!

Until next time, happy running! :)
