A slightly different kind of outing in Dovedale this weekend…

Some of the team took on the Dovedale Dash, with most deciding that running it normally wasn't quite enough of a challenge – so they did it dressed as dinosaurs!

It turns out those costumes are surprisingly difficult to move in and definitely weren't designed for running. 🦕🏃

There was fantastic support all around the course, with plenty of cheering for the dinosaurs as they went past.

A great day out, lots of fun and good to be out enjoying our patch for a change – without a stretcher in sight!
