Great to welcome 2 new GG SHF group runners last night:

Ged who is also the Grants man for GGHQ!

Lucy who joined us from GG YORK!

It was BALTIC last night, but we didn't let that stop us and get straight on route down to Burngreave/Pitsmoor area to meet Karen Malone who got us equipped with bags and pickers and we got stuck straight into it.

It was great to also be joined again by celebrity Croquette professional Eugene who had a rare evening off childcare and was able to join us. Great to see you again Eugene!

We had thank you's from locals and managed to fill our bags up in no time, including a lot of cans that will be weighed in and any monies put towards new equipment for Pitsmoor Pickers to do more good in the future!

By the time we had done our loop , fingers were getting very chilly so we headed back to base with some going on to The Rutland Arms for food and drinks and others opting to head home for warm showers and heating!

Until next time, happy running!
