Oh what a night!

It was a scorcher! But despite this we had a great turn out inc Kat, who was on her 100th good deed and so received the now customary garb of the @GGSHEFF wings and hat and she pulled it off marvelously!

This week we were back off to Heeley People's Park to continue with much needed help that Heeley Development Trust are in need of now that the summer sun is here to stay and Rob is the only Parkie on site to manage all of the huge and fantastic space the park has to offer.

With a quick overview done we got straight to work splitting into TASK FORCE TEAMS lead by;

WILD TOM - Cutting back the chaff
POCKET ROCKET KIM - Legging it with buckets of mulch
ANGELIC KAT - Spreading the mulch all over
SECATEUR SAM - Also cutting back the chaff

A great team effort was put in by all, with some putting in some sprints to make our time as effective as poss, nice one!

After saying our goodbyes we formed a circle and had an alternative game of duck, duck goose that involved sprints and various plank positions.

Next we split into 2 teams and formed a long line of high planks for the complete team to commando crawl through in a race to be the victorious team!

On route back we chucked in some sprint and returns and stair sets for good measure.

Until next week, happy running!
