This is the way

When I was walking through the Grove farm to reach the meeting point, I spotted Mike and Ana, from Friends of Grove Farm, carrying the tools for today's task. They both came back from vacation and another due who is about to go on a vacation, Kash and Sevan, ran and met us at the meeting point. Today the Friends of Grove Farm had a lighter team due to the bank holiday on Monday. But 4 from GoodGym turned up. Adrienne came back for her second good deed.

Similar to previous missions, the team is split into two. One team to make the pathway inside the forest and the other team to clear the fences. Mike, Kash, Sevan, and I geared up with googles and loppers and went inside the forest whereas Ana and Adrienne took a side of the fence and started trimming the hedges.

Mike started cutting the trees with his trusty electric saw and the rest of us started clearing the logs on the way. Then we went a bit deep inside the Grove farm and had to tackle brambles and hedges.

Mike asked me to go to the other side so that he get a clear picture of the path that we wanted to create.

The bright red GoodGym t-shirt was easy to spot - Mike

We agreed on the spot and Mike and Kash started cutting the brambles from one end and Sevan and I started chopping the brambles from the other end. Sevan after some time went and joined Adrienne. Mike left us to do some tree-cutting. So Kash and I finished the remaining. After raking and doing some finishing touches the path was beautiful.

When Kash and I went back to join the remaining team, 2 more volunteers had joined. They were litter-picking around the fences. Ana couldn't believe what we did in the given amount of time. Meanwhile, Sevan and Adrienne had fun pulling the hedges from the fence. After taking the group picture Kash, Sevan, and I started walking towards Northolt via the path that we created for our next adventurous mission and Adrienne decided to stay back and help the Friends of Grove farm for some more time.
