Our lovely sunny group run took us to Slades Farm, a community garden nestled around the back of Bournemouth University. We welcomed back Pia, really happy we didn't scare you away! And it was great to have Soren with us, hopefully for a couple of weeks whilst he is down in Bournemouth for a few more weeks with work. Dan brought Hae along and the route wasn't great for them. Next week is shorter and so is the group run the following week, please come back again then!!!

It was just under 4km there in the end and the route was predominantly uphill...which isn't ideal as it was really warm and muggy, despite sticking to shaded roads covered by beautiful trees! When we arrived Theresa was on hand and ready to put us straight to work. The vegetable patch was in desperate need of watering so Tom, Miffy, Laura and Soren filled water containers and lugged them with a wheelbarrow to then fill up watering cans to then water the patches. They were even treated to some flowers and leaves!!!

The rest of the gang were on bramble cutting duties...and tick patrol....everyone got stuck in and were really eager until Pia came across an unwanted guest...luckily she spotted it and Andrew was on hand to offer his credit card, Pia swiftly and safely removed the little critter!! Make sure you all check your bodies please!!

The run home was a lot nicer as the temperature had dropped and most of the route was downhill. Nice to see Caprice, Neil, Soren and Laura push the last bit backk to base, a mean hill with some nasty steps to finish you off!

Well done everyone, a great turnout and lots of friendly faces. Next week we're just around the corner either at Body Positive or Hope Housing. Will confirm over the next week!

Have a great rest of the week!! And enjoy your dinner tomorrow evening...not jealous at all!!!
