Feeling sheepish around the beaver

This evening was definitely the coldest evening since GoodGym launched in Norwich but it still didn't stop over 20 runners coming out to help their community.

A big welcome to Rob on his 1st GoodGym run.

I got to be back runner for the 1st time as the man himself Dan led the group for the 1st time with many more to come following his recent Run Leader achievement.

Congratulations to Michelle, Alex, Rob and Matthew on attending at least 10 GoodGym Group Runs.

I also need to mention my beanie with the built in head torch... a bargain from Groupon!

The task lined up was just under 4km each way and we were visiting Angelica's Rainbow and The Marlpit Arms.

They had several things for us to do so we split the group up for each activity, they were: putting the animals to bed and feeding them, flattening mole hills in the sheep paddock, dismantling an unused caged area, trimming a big bush (wheyyy) and moving some furniture about inside the old pub site.

In fact this was probably one of my favorite tasks yet since doing GoodGym.

The animals they had were sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs and a rescued hedgehog! Inside the pub there was a stuffed rabbit and beaver... now you can see where the pun derived from!

After a good 30 minutes or so of hard grafting, we had a quick refreshment in the pub, while the bush trimmers were adamant they were going to get it all prim and proper. Then Alex decided to lose his car key so there was a massive hunt in search for it. Elizabeth miraculously found it in the van where all the bush trimmings were put.

We may well be returning here just before Xmas as there's more we can do and Cecile said she'd provide us with mince pies and mulled wine so that sold it to me haha.

Dan then led the group back to The Forum and then everyone went off to warm themselves up.

Next week's run ... get involved.
