I'm seriously running out of puns now for these community tasks! Any suggestions welcome...

9 volunteers arrived at our favourite place, Wildcat Wilderness, to help dig out yet more of those never-ending bramble roots to clear some space. There was one particularly pesky root which took THREE people to pull out! We are making significant progress now but there's still much to be done. Today we welcomed two new volunteers - James and Stephen. Welcome and thanks!

At the end of the session we each chose our best bramble root for a little 'flinging' contest - chucking the pesky blighters into the wilderness. There were no points for showing off as Julian's fancy technique fell short of the mark and saw instant disqualification from the competition. Take it seriously next time Julian!

See you next time!

The punning gets hard after while doesn't it?! You need to set the challenge at the beginning of the task (or hope that Oli comes along...)!

Amazing work everyone :)
