7 Fantastic Goodgym diehards and 1 local resident tonight donned their super thick gardening gloves to tackle a very overgrown and brambly green space in the middle of a local housing estate. The land is unadopted and so nobody really takes care of it and it really was in need of some TLC.

Karen, Nigel, Maurice, Nahashon, Claire, Hazel, Linda and Nicola set to work with chopping (with shears and loppers), pulling, tugging, raking and bagging up all the brambles and weeds. It soon became dark, so the good old Goodgym spot lights made their first appearance of 2021 (although I think a couple of them need a bit of TLC as they refused to work).

It soon became dark, so after just over an hour or so, we finished bagging up all the brambles and weeds ready for collection by the council.

It might have been dark but it didn’t stop us from making an impact. It’s hard to see in the photos due to how dark it was but we definitely got some seriously clearing done.

I think we’ll be back – but maybe at the weekend when it’s light!!

Well done you awesome bunch – amazing, enthusiastic work as always.
