It was more of a brown Christmas than a white one at the Wilderness...mud, mud and more mud after all the rain we've been having. But this didn't deter 5 Good Gym volunteers from turning up on a Saturday in December to help continue clearing some space for an outdoor classroom. In addition to the usual digging up of bramble roots and raking of ivy, we got to use a saw to remove some tree stumps (excellent upper body workout opportunity).

And huge CONGRATULATIONS to Oli - it was his 100th Good Deed!!!!!!!! Celebrated with a socially distanced coffee afterwards, just in time before Tier 4 hit! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’d just been to physio, and popped in to drop something off and then stayed....because why not!! so it was more by accident than design!!
