6 intrepid, socially distanced GoodGymmers braved the cold blast from the North in an attempt to make a dent on the massive mound of Christmas Tree chippings from Myton Hospital and Pass the Smile Christmas Tree collection after Christmas. The aim was to move the mound and spread it around the maze at Russell Garden Centre in readiness for summer. The mound was already reduced from the good work of the Saturday GoodGym crew and it was our job to reduce it further. We arrived just after a smattering of snow and the weather gradually got better. – when I say better….t went from 2 degrees to a tropical 4 to 5, with at times freezing wind. After 3 hours of shovelling, barrowing and raking we were complete for the day. A dent was made in the massive mound and but it will survive another week until the next GoodGym crew roll out the barrow.
