Led by Bath runner

Two tasks tonight at Goodgym Bath for the 18 strong team for a 5k run to a couple of Guerrilla gardens for transition Bath.

One mass group led out by our fab run leader Emily with Pascale as her run leader support at the rear as poor old Steph is still not able to run, but she's still keeping up with us in her little car.

Task One at Gravel Walk

The Magnificent Seven worked hard to transform the gravel walk community garden with Virginia tonight. Pascale overseeing this task.

Bea, Sophie & Ed constructed a new compost area which eager diggers & weeders Lucy, Nicola & Pascale took no time at all to fill up.

Mary carefully crafted a new hazel wood fence and we all took great pride in our freshly planted raspberries, strawberries, onions & Chinese greens.

After a tidy up and returning tools to the car we were treated to some fresh rhubarb to take home with us.

So it's rhubarb compote and crumble cooking time for these Goodgym runners tonight!

Task Two finishing off Park street

Legs 11 strong team to finish off as much as possible at Park Street Guerrilla garden.

Steve, Joe, Sam x2, Emily, Doris and Jaxx tackling the remaining weeds at the top of the footpath ready for planting with herbs that are shallow rooted.

Emma, Steve, Lydia and Steph clearing the old leaves up and pulling up stinging nettles, bramble, Ivy and cutting back the tree.

We filled the compost buns, bagged the leaves to rot down separately, made two bonfires and managed not to cause any injuries to each other, although several attempts were made.. ha!!!

Sam and Joe proved to be the worlds strongest men tonight lifting a big stone and putting it in place for our host Lyn, not sure if they were smiling or grimacing under the pressure.

Just enough time to catch a group photo before Lyn thanked us and we headed back towards gravel walk to regroup and head back to the leisure centre.

Wow!!! What satisfying tasks and what wonders everyone worked tonight

just like that !!

Thanks guys you are all amazing and a pleasure to be part of this magical team.
