6 GoodGymers arrived at Jubilee Wood to continue with digging up wood chip piles and filling in low spots around the woods.

Unlike last time, there were multiple small piles and just one footpath to lay the bark on. Oh, there was also lots of small bark piles, lots of gates, lots of fences and lots of walking. Many words could describe the task but quick and efficient are not them!

Regardless we got stuck in. Abi tried to make the task more efficient by leaving a wheelbarrow on the opposite side of a park fence so we would scoop the wood chip over (it went as well as expected). However with Nicky's shortcut and through everyones hard graft, we had all the bark chip cleared and the path low spots completely filled.
