Sofa, so good ...
9 GoodGymers made their way 1.8km to help the Friends of Sheaf Valley Park in Sheffield.

Good Gym Sheffield met up with Super Sara and Lovely Linda from the Friends of Sheaf Valley Park for some Sunday morning, high -altitude litter picking. Nine runners set off from the train station for the long climb up to Skye Edge playing fields; the sleet started to come down just as we arrived at the top. Un-deterred we set about picking up bottles, cans and paper, while Stephen and Tom got in some strength training by carrying a sofa up a steep field to the road. More furniture, doors and tyres joined the ever-growing pile of refuse .
"Can someone help me with this, I'm feeling a little tyred" - Stephen
As the weather got worse we pressed on and after an hour in the cold the area looked much better and we had a big pile of rubbish to show for our efforts.
Nothing keeps you warm like the glow from a good deed
Our mission accomplished, we slid and skated back down to the centre of town for coffee and almost vegan cake kindly made and offered by belated Birthday Kat & Amazing Ash in the Showroom.
