A mattock of leaf and death

🥶 20 'dedicated GoodGymmers braved chilly temperatures for this week's group run. After naming our favourite drinks (single malt whisky anyone 🥃 Or maybe just the classic water 🥤), we did a much-needed warm up and set off 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

🌳We were back at West Bank Park tonight, tackling the infamous mud mountain and spreading bark-chip onto the footpaths. It was quite the workout, so much so that we kept going and used it as an alternative upper body workout for our fitness session 💪

⛏️We split into teams with a variety of tools distributed between them. We used our best raking, shovelling and mattock-ing skills to spread said bark-chip from the piles it had been "dumped" in across the path. There was some great teamwork displayed and some impressive wheelbarrow relaying 🛒

🌱 Meanwhile, another team were tackling the mud mountain, including the rogue compost waste that had snuck on there and was creating quite the unpleasant odour (to say the least) 😷🐁

⏳As the time went on, the gaps between bark-chip mounds reduced and the chip was spread more evenly across the path. With a few minutes to go, there was a brilliant team effort to fill the last gap and smooth everything over. Great work everyone👌

👏After that effort, it was time to head back to base for some cool-down stretches and a trip to the pub 🍻

👍Thanks everyone for a cracking effort, see you again soon 🙌
