Doing the Mow-bot

Five runners came along on this fairly long run to the Trinity Community Centre where Mohammed from Training4U is trying to get a hold on the wild garden!

We started by clearing out the biggest weeds from the grass by hand while we figured out how to get the mower started, then gave up, then tried again... Eventually after discovering the throttle handle we brought the motor to life and the mowing could begin!

Hidden among the long grass were a number of discarded heavy old paving slabs, so these had to be prised free and lifted out of the mowers way.

By the time we left, an area had been converted from uneven long grass and weeds to an actual lawn with all random bricks and slabs removed!
