5 Goodgymers came out in the heat to help the Friends of Danesmead Woods rake and move logs. Leanne and Paul showed particular dedication by coming back from camping especially for the task. First we were tasked with raking up most of the cuttings from the sything and moving them to the sides of the area. We then moved some heavy logs using Jude's clever rope system before being rewarded with some of Jude's wonderful rocky road tray bake. The logs had been part of a seating area but this had been damaged and misused so our job was to carry and toss the logs into the nettles to discourage this. We finished by moving a fourth log back onto its base to recreate a seat.
