Last night was our 10th anniversary/birthday!

WOW! Time flies!

It was great to see some past GG regulars come out last night! Great to see Stephen, Dana and Sergiu! Hope to see you all back again soon!

Celine set off a bit earlier walking and timed it to perfection with the running group meeting her at the task location just as task owner Karen was heading back to her car to get more equipment as she wasn't expecting so many runners!

We got straight to it, getting tooled up with pickers, bags and rings, gloves on and head torches on now that the clocks have changed.

Generally it wasn't too bad compared to how we have seen this area. The strong winds may have had something to do with it, moving the litter around. One thing was very clear was that there was a distinct lack of bins in the area!

Find of the night has to go to Katy who found a large teddy bear, who looked like they had seen better days!

Once we were back to base most of us headed to The Rutland Arms for some food and drink and to share stories of past favourite tasks. We even had cake!

Here's to another 10yrs of GG SHF!

We ran a nice distance (about 2k each way) to Heeley Green Community Garden, with some great city views along the way. We met up with Fran, who offered us a nice choice of tasks including weeding, litter picking, and replanting. Our "out with the old, in with the new" approach took hold quickly - Tomremoved an entire TV (which he said was a first!). Lots of weeds were removed to make the path accessible, and we used teamwork to dig holes, plant bulbs and compact the soil around them. A big welcome to Oliver , who was super helpful and got stuck straight in to the task ☺ Welcome back to Ellie! It's great to have you back in the team ☺
