It was a grueling task today at Harbottle park where 4 excellent GoodGymers put in a serious shift. You could cancel your gym membership if you did this task only a couple of days a week. We were also joined by a first-timer in Andy, thanks for coming along and becoming a part of the GoodGym family. We certainly needed the extra muscle today!

There were the usual Harbottle park tasks to get stuck into today. Cleaning up the path edges, cutting back the hedges and some litter picking! Charlotte and I tackled cleaning up the path edges while Andy and Miranda were a dream hedge cutting team. You will see in the photos that they got through so much hedge and overgrowth they were mere dots on the horizon from where we originally started.

As usual, Mike rewarded us with a tea break that we all needed after the effort we had put in. One final 20-minute spell of speed path edging and neatening up from everyone and we were done with the whole place looks a lot tidier.
