10 Goodgymers returned to help Kairos WWT with the next part of their garden project.

It was great to see the progress that had been made in the garden since our last visit, including the very exciting summer house that is now in place!

This evening's task was another great workout starting with moving some heavy slabs out of the way, some of which will be used to put a new path along the side of the centre in the future.

Next we dug up a large area of sand and transfered this in a wheelbarrow into some large builders bags out of the way, making space for some better quality compost to go down in the future.

Whilst this was taking place, others in the group were attempting to move a shed into the space that had been made by the removal of the slabs but unfortunately this came to an abrupt halt as the shed was screwed to the ground. A task that will have to wait for another day when we have the right tools!

We finished the session with a fitness session running "the maze" whilst mixing it up with various exercises such as squats, lunges and press ups!

It was lovely to have double figures at our run this week and great to welcome Andy to his first ever Goodgym Group Run!
