Big @GGSHF welcome to first time runner;
Click John's name to support him and give him cheers!
It was the first run of spring time last night and the extra hour of daylight was very welcomed! We gathered and gave a BIG GGSHF GROUP CHEER to AMAZING ASH who was on his 100th deed! Massive congrats Ash!
At the Showroom we split into 2 groups;
- Tom & Mike
- Steve & Kim
A tough climb to the task meeting point last night, heading further along the National Cycle Network than ever before to meet with SUSTRANS SIMON who had some lovely looking new tools for us to use including;
- Safety goggles
- New loppers
- New brooms!
On arrival, each group got briefed on the evenings tasks, got tooled up and straight to work, sweeping, litter picking, chopping to make the section of the NCN cleaner, greener and wider for all to use, including one of our GG runners who uses the route daily to commute!
After a brief, but energetic session we brought tools back to Simon's van and headed for home with a couple of fitness tasks thrown in on route including;
- Tunnel time
- Group Circle Squats #we'renotaculthonest
We were stretching ourselves last night with a 4.4km route each way with the first leg mainly uphill. A great effort by all and despite a few grumbles we we're all alive and well at the end.

Until next time, happy running :)
