On a chilly and windy Mon eve we set off from our home of The Showroom cinema via the Five Weirs Walk route to meet with Gerry from Sustrans.
Gerry met us on site, the other side of the Spider's Bridge with tools and other Sustrans volunteers.
Our task was to clear litter and other detritus from a section of the National Cycle Network along the Five Weirs Walk route.
We got straight to it, picking litter, sweeping and scraping debris and bagging it up ready for the council to collect at a later date.
After a good session the patch was looking much better.
As we said our goodbyes Generous Gerry gave us some delicious homemade parkin to give us some energy for the return leg.
Until next time, happy running :)
