Ouse-burning arms

Another fresh morning awaited a group of GoodGymers old and new- big welcome Gareth!- to a super Saturday morning task with Ouseburn Trust.

Gareth joined us on his bike, while Aimee and Lucy were parkrun fresh! I'd dashed over from volunteering at South Shields parkrun making it feel like a good start to the day.

We had a very short walk down to the Ouseburn Trust meeting point where leader Dave was ready and waiting. We had a brilliant task today- chopping and lopping a long headgerow in order to make the path safe and the users visible. A simple enough job, a massive impact and a real arm-burner, especially for Aimee who was already aching after some Center Parcs rapids action!

It was great to spend the morning together, and to really make a difference.
