For the maths geeks - here's a GG sum: a physical task + fresh air + mud + a hammer + a very heavy tree-rammer + worms...

= 6 very happy GoodGymers

Maxine, Manuel, Catherine, Katie, Lynn & Judy joined local residents, the Tree Wardens, Portsmouth City Council staff, plus the Lord Mayor & Stephen Morgan MP to plant fruit trees in various locations through Portsea.

What we learned from this task - don't dig holes in trainers and don't dare Katie to do anything, because she'll do it - in this case it was fitting herself into a long cardboard box!

There's another chance to get digging in phase 2 of the tree-planting on Sunday 9th February.

I love to combine keeping active, helping my local community, protecting the environment and having fun with others doing the same.
