Well done to all of those who took part in today's Monday Miles - that was a scorcher!

Dave, Alice and I joined the Relay Your Way team for a quick 1km leg around Hilsea Lines. This was my first run back after injury, so the short distance seemed perfect... until I then had to run back again to collect the car as one of our team was very sweaty and grumpy post run - I'll let you guess who!! 😉

Katie made the most of Transition Day school run with a 9 mile cycle. Val walked 10km and somehow managed to resist an icecream, whilst Jane embraced a pub pit-stop on her 4-miler.

Our top distance today was covered by Judy and her pals over in Austria, who completed a 19km leg of the Lechweg Trail - and sent some beautiful photos.

As always with Monday Miles, it's not about the distance, just taking a little bit of time to squeeze some activity in to your day. Nice work, everyone!

What a gorgeous evening and a beautiful location for tonight's task! The sun was shining whilst our tasks were in the shade of the trees at the People's Memorial.

Brenda had prepared two benches for us to paint, but within the hour we had managed to paint those, prep and paint two more, and weed the memorial garden too!

There were only a few whoopsies of people putting their hands or arms in wet paint, which considering Dave and Andy started painting the bench top before the struts was pretty impressive!

A lovely hot & sunny morning working with the Friends of Nore Barn Woods (FONBW), clearing bramble and overhanging branches from the path along the foreshore and in the woods. The FONBW volunteers are always so welcoming, and there were a lot of interesting conversations as well as great conservation! I wax a lone GGer today and chatted to people walking along the paths about the tasks we were doing and about how essential volunteering is to many organisations, even for just 1 hour a month! Come and join next month if you can!
