Moo-ving trees

25 hardy runners met up at a stand in location (Sustrans' head office) on a slightly damp Tuesday evening to run over to Windmill Hill City Farm.

It wasn't raining as it's not actually permitted to rain for GoodGym in Bristol (I'm not kidding - it's been about a year since we got properly wet out on a run), but it was very humid and a fine mist of drizzle kept us cool as we ran to the Windmill Hill farm.

A small sub-group ran over to St Pauls to help a chap called Boris with some gardening on a side mission too!

Once down at the farm, we quickly set to our tasks - cleaning the volunteers building and also seriously cutting back some trees; the city farm is planning to turn their car park in to a park and change the entrance way to the farm, so this was to help prepare for this.

The cleaners were swift and a few crept off to have a little look at the animals before regrouping and heading over to help the choppers and their mighty pruning - there was also some litter picking going in and some curious items were found (see the photos for more info!).

Time ran away with us as always but a lot of people wanted to go and see the piglets and ducklings, so we quickly headed in to the pig sty for a little look - they were mighty cute and I did wonder if I could fit a duckling in to my rucksack!

A short run back to Sustrans later, we met up with the people who had gone on their side mission, had a good stretch, and we were done!

Thanks everyone!
