What a difference a day makes! Our @RiverStewards session today at Stevenson Rd was blue sky & sunshine. A light shower gave us a full rainbow overhead as we started - bonus! Path back to full width, leaf mulch removed. Ta, ‘Loopers. Good work!👌👊 @theoutdoorcity @TPT_National

Crikey! It was a bit nippy again on our @CRTYorkshireNE session at Worksop Rd Aqueduct. But it wasn’t wet. And the sun came out. But we were on’t’ shady side o’t’cut. 🥶 So we worked quicker to keep warm! Ta, ‘Loopers. Top notch. As ever!👌👍👊 @theoutdoorcity @RiverStewards

Today’s @CRTYorkshireNE session by Worksop Rd Aqueduct was a bit on the chilly side 🥶 but the sun broke through - which was nice. We prepped path towards Don Valley Moorings, & made it full width. Great turnout, lots done. Thank 🫵 ‘Loopers!👌Brrr! @theoutdoorcity @RiverStewards

We were expecting damp on our @RiverStewards session at Newhall Rd. Turned out we weren’t as damp as we’d first expected. Mostly occasional refreshing spritzer drizzle. Nice one! Ta, ‘Loopers! 👍👏👏 (we’ll be back!) @theoutdoorcity @TPT_National @WalkWheelCycleT @SheffCouncil

Clip from a 2016 SCC video ‘Five Weirs - City Centre to Meadowhall cycle route’, shows the Washford Bridge to East Coast Rd section shut by damage in the Nov 2019 floods. We need to see this part of the 5WW rebuilt. 👌👊 @theoutdoorcity @RiverStewards @TPT_National @SheffCouncil

We’re assuming the rain put a few off on today’s @RiverStewards session at Newhall Rd. 😁 As a result we didn’t get as much done - but we did make good progress. (And had a kingfisher sighting too!👌) Ta! ‘Loopers 👍 Nice one 😃👊 @theoutdoorcity @riverlution_rsc @TPT_National

There was a 70% chance of rain for today’s @RiverStewards session at Washford Bridge. It was damp. Persistently damp, but we say “Pah!” to inclement weather (mostly😁). Reduced numbers but we got it done. Ta! Loopers! @theoutdoorcity @riverlution_rsc @TPT_National @SustransNorth

Today we continued the towpath work in Attercliffe with @CRTYorkshireNE . A patchwork approach due to logistics of 1 tonne bag placement 😱 - however, we achieved our goal & will return to continue the progress! Ta! ‘Loopers! 👌👊 @theoutdoorcity @riverlution_rsc @SheffCouncil

A forecast of afternoon rain meant we started today’s @CRTYorkshireNE session in Attercliffe with a bit of a move on. Seven one tonne bags of chippings were laid quickly & efficiently. Ta ‘Loopers! Great work & we escaped the rain!👍 @theoutdoorcity @riverlution_rsc @SheffCouncil
