12 Goodgymers, 2 kids and 2 dogs headed to Mousehold Heath to pull up some bracken.

Half the group met at the Forum and ran 6.5km in total up the hill to the task and back - who said Norwich was flat! Thanks Penny for being the back marker.

Shout out to Sam who joined us for her first GoodGym task.

Resident Mousehold Warden, Will led us to the area to be cleared armed with rakes and loppers. The group got to work pulling up the bracken and collecting up the dry piles to prevent any unwanted fires. With the dogs in tow, we paid special attention not to disturb any unexpected wasp nests!

Shout out to Jonathan who completed his 100th task this evening, fantastic effort!

After 45mins work and a whole area cleared with headed our separate ways on a warm sunny evening.
