Four of the GoodGym team met up with four from the new Grasmere Community Garden to set about relocating an old tractor tyre from the Venue 360 sports centre, 4 miles across town to the nursery garden.

The tyre had been in use for boot camp fitness sessions in years gone by but was now lying forgotten in a ditch. Getting it to the nursery gives it a new third lease of life.

Rolling a big tyre through town attracts a lot of heckles, with comments such as "Got a puncture?" and "Have you forgotten the rest of the tractor?" as well a few genuinely supportive folk and tooting car horns along the way.

We were received at the garden with a welcoming cheer from the friends of the garden and nursery school who turned up to see the feat, and a much needed banana! 🍌
