Succulent Steve, Lavender Lou, Daisy Dan & Chrysanthemum Kim left Shaw Lane for Lavender court on a longer than usual Tuesday night run.

The group really rose to the challenge of continuing our great work overhauling the residents home garden, a real Ivy league performance! This week we planted pansies and perennials to brighten up the beds whilst the resident looked on with intrigue from their Beetle Drive.

The weather was against us all night with all of us getting moist to the core!

On arrival back we headed for shelter to stretch off and said our goodbyes until next week.

After a brief chat re all things Barnsley we set off for Lavender court on a longer than usual task which gave us the opportunity to get a longer run in as well as take in some great features along the way including a HUGE stair set and some fantastic views of Barnsley and the surrounding area now we have an hours extra light!

On arrival we got a lovely wall sit group photo before heading into Lavender Court to be kindly greeted by Danny who has been great helping to organize tasks at Lavender Court.

We got tooled up with spades, forks, rakes and loppers and get straight to work continuing the work that had been started in the residents garden, clearing the bushes and turning the soil ready for some re-planting which we may well comeback to in the near future.

The roots ran deep, but it was no problem for our surly @GGBARNSLEY Bunch who made light work of the stubborn shrubbery! Dan even felt it necessary to give some of the plants a good old smack once they were out of the ground for good keeping! Go on Dan, show that bush whose boss!

Sheffield Kat who came straight from Leeds with work made light work of the area she was working on and was glad to be getting in the practice ready for her own landscaping project at home.

All of our work was done under the watchful eye of a very friendly and complementary resident who stated;

I never thought they would get all that done!

Once all the perennials were pulled, we posed for a few final shots, getting creative with our garden tools and then headed back to base with thanks from Danny ringing in our ears until next time.

Rocking Regulars DANGEROUS DAN, LOVELY LOU & JUMPING JOSH rocked up at the newly furnished Shaw Lane Sports Centre and welcomed new trainer Tom to BRILLIANT BARNSLEY.

We started with a chat re all things @ggbarnsley and then gave out gloves and bags ready for a plogging adventure.

Heading left out of our base and toward Pennie Pie Park we took a brief pause at the playground equipment for some squeeky sets before crossing the road to plog in POGMOOR!

On the way into town we couldn't pass the legendary FITZWILLIAM ST without getting a group photo and some hill reps in!

Once at the top we headed to the Town hall for some Fartlek step reps and the dropped down to a local green space for another quick fire street furniture circuit inc:

• press ups
• lunges
• stair sprints
• tri dips
• step ups
• calf raises

From here we headed home for some stretching and stat sharing.

Until next time, happy running!
