Last night our good deed was to help out Paul at Bishop Aldhelm's Primary School with their long jump pit.
4 of us met up at the bottom of Coy Pond to go for a little run and chat together.
It was lovely to have Amber join us again after a little hiatus and Hannah managed her first proper run since having her little boy 11 months ago. It was a special evening for sure!
We took the lit-up road route, avoiding the usual off road trails, and although the distance was short, the hills were not!
Chatting along we made it to the school where Paul was waiting for us and guided us to the long jump pits at the back of the school.
We set up the lights and picked out the right tools and set about shoveling and scraping away all the moss that had grown on the running strip to the long jump pit.
We realised pretty early on that it was all about angles and that our arms are not as strong as we'd like! Hannah added her strategic knee sway to it and soon was shoveling large spades of moss clear.
We cleared one strip and with 15minutes to go we started and got half way through the second strip. A light drizzle started and this was our cue to pack up and make our way back to Coy Pond.
A very satisfying evening in many ways!
Next week's session is in the works so keep an eye out for it!
