Our 'Goat To' task

A visit to Street Goat is always a popular task, and this week there was also the rumour that the goats had "finished being pregnant" - might there be baby goats???! Alas no, it turns out the goats are still very much pregnant and we were a month too early for a goat-birthing task* *(goat birthing will almost certainly not be a goodgym task)

However there were plenty of tasks to keep us busy, as always. After an obligatory bit of goat visiting, the group split into two teams. Team 1 tackled the fence-erecting, pounding in a series of perfectly spaced and level posts and getting a great workout in the process. Team 2 got stuck into a big pile of brambles that needing shifting from the goats' enclosure - apparently they will eat the leaves but not the woody bits. Lily the goat was eager to help, nibbling any remaining tasty morsels off the branches. Finally there were some trees to wrap in plastic netting to protect them from hungry goats.

Before we knew it, time was up, tasks were finished and snacks consumed, and it was time for everyone to say goodbye to the goats (and attempt to coax them into our group photo) and head off to scoff chocolate eggs and hot cross buns, and other such Easter activities. The group headed off +1 as Emma had acquired a travelling bear who will be accompanying her to London marathon! :-)

Thanks everyone for coming, and extra thanks to Dave for leading the running group from Mud Dock. Happy Easter!
