We do love a bit of time travel!👍 River Stewardship Co The Outdoor City

We returned to Salmon Pastures for today’s River Stewardship Co session. Forecast of rain and wind but we avoided it! Path back to full width - looking good! Target achieved. Neat. We’ll be back Thank you, ‘Loopers 👍👏👏 Riverlution by RSC The Outdoor City Sustrans North Trans Pennine Trail


There are countless breathtaking moments of sublime loveliness along the Blue Loop. Occasionally fleeting but always rewarding. On our last session - wind blown blossom confetti! 👌 Keep your eyes peeled and enjoy the moments. 👍 River Stewardship Co The Outdoor City #movemoresheffield


Summer will come! There’s always time to reflect, on the Blue Loop. It’s free, on your doorstep and the jewel in Sheffields crown.👌 Excellent for an excursion! The Outdoor City Canal & River Trust - Yorkshire & North East River Stewardship Co #sheffieldissuper


Our Canal & River Trust - Yorkshire & North East session today was “one of those days” The pontoon outboard wouldn’t start, so all the equipment had to be transferred to the van. 🙄 A late start but we got stuff done! Path readied for surfacing - we can’t wait! Ta ‘Loopers! 👌 The Outdoor City River Stewardship Co


Wow.. that was a scorcher! 🥵 The River Stewardship Co session at Stevenson Rd was a 26° belter - the‘Loopers were definitely “FEELIN’🎵HOT🎵HOT🎵HOT🎵!” But got stuck in, now a full width path with river views. Nice one! The Outdoor City Sustrans North Trans Pennine Trail #sheffieldissuper


More path prep with Canal & River Trust - Yorkshire & North East in Attercliffe today. Imminent arrival of chippings drives us on - then the resurfacing will resume in earnest! 👏👏 We can’t wait! Progress was made, spirits were lifted, nature was observed. Blue & green space can do this for you ..for free.


Great turnout, great weather, great result. Another top notch River Stewardship Co session on the Blue Loop, upstream from Salmon Pastures. Full width path, river views. Ta! ‘Loopers 👍👌 The Outdoor City Riverlution by RSC Trans Pennine Trail Sustrans North


Our River Stewardship Co session today at Stevenson Rd.. We were expecting dodgy weather but were pleasantly surprised. Blue sky & sun to start then more cloud arrived. A couple of light showers at the end. A lucky escape! Good progress. Ta, ‘Loopers 👍👌 The Outdoor City Trans Pennine Trail


We all felt better after today’s Canal & River Trust - Yorkshire & North East session by Shirland Lane bridge. Three hours in blue & green space really does improve your health & wellbeing. Still waiting for chippings, so a bit more path fettling done. Thank you ‘Loopers! 👌👊 River Stewardship Co The Outdoor City

In response to a falling ivy issue on the towpath at Bacon Lane bridge today’s Canal & River Trust - Yorkshire & North East session was diverted. We helped to cut, bag & remove the offending plant, sending 21 bags to the skip at Victoria Quays. Ta, ‘Loopers. Great work. Oof!🥵 River Stewardship Co The Outdoor City

Yeehah! Path surfacing at last.
