Farndon Fields Residents Group, which meets via a video call every week, organised the initiative to help bring the community together in spirit, while providing an exciting outdoor challenge that could be completed during residents’ daily hour of exercise.

Andrew Reeves, a member of the group, said: “We have organised numerous activities across the development previously which have always gone down well. Many residents have even organised their own acivities, including chalk games and rock painting, which people really get involved with.

“In these unprecedented times, however, we felt like we needed something really special to lift moods and bring the community together.
