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!

This evening's task saw us return to a church last visited by us many years ago when we painted their shipping container.
The run to the Church of the Nazarene was quite a challenging one with the building being situated at the top of a rather large Sheffield hill compounding the challenge of the 2.76 km run to it! We all made it though, and in good time too. When we arrived at the church we were met by Sophie who had all of the equipment required for the evening's tasks out waiting for us. The main task of the evening was sweeping the yard and paths bordering the church. A secondary task was a fan favorite- litterpicking!
Brushing aside any fatigue from the run we set about sweeping up the debris scattered throughout the yard into individual piles. These were subsequently swept onto spades and deposited into waste sacks. There were some bits of litter hiding in the bushes and under the container which were skillfully plucked by dexterous digits and precise pickers.
I'll show you who's moss!
When we had finished our work at the front of the church we diverted our efforts to the rear. Around the back there was moss to be scraped and swept up from the shady ground adjacent to the walls of the church. This was no problem for us though, we're no mossers.
After superbly sweeping the entirety of the outside of the building we said our goodbyes and set out on the much more pleasant route back to the Showroom. When we were almost back I had a little extra fitness in the bag for the 'eager' runners. We did a sprint up the GoodGym Grinders Hill steps followed by 10 box jumps up onto the concrete balls outside The Hubs. Following this we decided to stretch off in this area too, utilizing the structures to aid us with balancing and dropping our heels for more efficient stretching. Tim also gave us an acrobatics demonstration as a reward, traversing the high bars above us.
We heard the usual announcements about the fabulous GoodGym Barnsley tasks occurring every Wednesday evening without fail and then went our separate ways.

The outside areas are full of unsightly dust, leaves and rubbish, they really need to be cleared up but it's a big job.
