Led by Sallyann Hardwick

The long awaited day arrived for our Goodgym social which had been organised by Pauline. https://www.goodgym.org/runners/pauline-harrison Sadly the winter lurgies and life events took hold of some of Liverpool Goodgymers and people had to cancel. Flying the GG flag today were the dynamic duo Jess https://www.goodgym.org/runners/jess-vickers and Sallyann (dynamic now as we both had had our share of lurgy earlier in the month).

The tour was amazing and well worth the visit. We learnt about the eccentric 'mole of Edge Hill' and walked through some of the tunnels that form a warren of tunnels (still being discovered) underneath our city. Over the years the tunnels had started to be used to pour rubbish in. So as the team continue to excavate they unearth items that had been thrown down holes into the tunnels. These include Victorian pottery oyster shells inkwells from a nearby school, jars from a local hospital and a model of a Dr Who Tardis!

As we resurfaced to daylight we found that it had started to snow. As we walked out of the tunnels into the snowy empty car and bike park we thought about our missing Goodgym mates - Snow - one here said Jess and a pun was born
