For this Saturday run we ran to Bramble Hill on the Northern Slopes in Bedminster. This is slightly longer hill than usual, and involved a couple of big hills to get to the farm. We met at Roll for the Soul as usual and then after a quick introduction we headed out on the run. This run was Chris Lewis’s 50th run so before we set off we presented him with his black tshirt.

Everyone did great on the run to the farm, and we arrived in good spirits ready to get stuck in. There were lots of different tasks for us to do, including completing the pig pen and fence around it, shifting some big piles of wood, digging over a large vegetable bed, shifting a big pile of compost and trying to pull lots of ripped plastic out of a tree! With over 20 goodgymers getting stuck in we got loads done before it was time to head off again. We kept a good pace up on the way home, with an extra hill loop to get everyone warm on a freezing cold day.

Pru couldn’t make this run due to a bad ankle, hopefully she’ll be better for Tuesday – we missed her!

Thanks to everyone who came, including some new faces and the trusty regulars- you know who you are!
