A solo paper round for Ben, similar to Hazel earlier in the week for GoodGym Stockport, for a free local community newspaper, the Manchester Post 🗞

300 newspapers delivered to neighbouring streets in Longsight in just over 2 hours, including the folding. A brief rain shower was no issue, with an array of canvas bags to store the newspapers, safely guarded by Juno, to carry out in two trips. Lots of curious people with filming going on at a local shop too!

Will repeat in June for now, but will re-evaluate in the summer if worth continuing. Lots of folding and heavy lifting to do it alone.

Yup, I agree! Also, most of the houses I've asked don't want unsolicited posts. And too many trees spent on these papers when they can also read it online.
