An amazing 37 people rocked up for last nights run on an overcast and gray Sheffield eve, what a turn out!

A huge welcome to 3 new fantastic runners to the @GGSHF crew;

  1. Chris Cutforth
  2. Cat
  3. Fran

Give em a cheer!

We were back off to help out SENSATIONAL SIMON and his small team of volunteer rangers who help to keep the NATIONAL CYCLING NETWORK looking tip top for all to use. With many a tool in the back of his car Simon gave us a quick brief of the tasks for the eve and we got straight to it. This week we had;

  • TEAM EDGING
  • TEAM TRIANGLE
  • TEAM STICK IT UP
  • TEAM GRAFFITI REMOVAL (Check out Helen's acrobatics in the photos!)
  • TEAM LOPPING
  • TEAM SWEEP

It was nice to have a local dapper chap walking his dog take the time to thank us for our efforts and tell us it was appreciated by the local community.

After a good 45mins of top work the section of the path we were working on was looking tip top and a lot more attractive for people to walk, run or cycle on this great local asset.

Once it was time to head home to the Showroom we said our goodbyes to Simon and headed down hill via Park Hill for a quick SUPER SQUAT session which involved make believe lava and the following squats;

  • SUMO SQUAT
  • SQUAT JUMP
  • PISTON SQUAT

We also threw in some humps and lumps to run over on the way back as well as some stairs sets and a sprint finish for good measure.

A huge thanks to everyone who came along, put effort in and contributed, really appreciated.

Happy Running :)
