We got into a right pickle but we soon brushed it off!

Three tasks for the price of just one Goodgym run tonight as 32 runners returned to the Pickle factory to pickle up where they left off.

The venue is home to Baggator who do youth and community work for the local Easton area. Stuart, our host is proud of their independence, secured by their ability to generate their own funding and allowing them to try innovative projects like teenage coding classes run in their theatre space in conjunction with local universities and a women-only IT class where their young children are also welcome.

Painting  

Task one was to continue painting the walls and ceiling along the stairwell and in the toilet. No surprise to see resident painter-in-chief Fi in this group.

Sanding

Task two was sanding down wood so it too could be painted in due course

Skull Scraping

The last task was to use wire brushes to remove any flaking paint from the Skull graffiti on the courtyard container. This will ultimately allow a neutral base layer to be painted so that a new graffiti design can be created. Special thanks to Clo here who generously gave up her place on the paint team to help out in what was a pretty dusty job!

After 30 mins on the task it was time to go, with the skull pretty much scraped and a lot of painting and sanding sorted.

The run back then became a game of two pace groups with walking lunges, squats and even some applause and arches by the groups to each other. Thanks to my fellow run leaders and back markers Jack, Clo and Charlie for all the fun and for keeping everyone safe.

Thanks also to Alice, Mel and Charlie for extra photos - and Alice for the pun.

Thanks for a great evening everyone - see you all soon!
