A lot of us hadn't been there before, also didn't help that Google directed us to Loxford Leisure Centre 😂. But after knowing the address is accurate we made it there, some later than others.

The centre had been left for a long while, and the door to get in, couldn't be opened very far due to the brambles, so we cut out way in and got scratched along the way. The initial idea was to bag the brambles in bin liners but it just shred them. So a compost idea was floated and it seemed the easiest to do, so we cut out a dedicated area and left all out cuttings there.

We finished up, and Liz bought some snacks for us to try, AJ turned up towards the end, due to navigation issues. And we promised to come back and see if we can tackle the rest of the brambles with hopefully less scratches 😅
