Pedal to the Nettles
10 GoodGymers made their way 8km to help the Holy Trinity Church and Penrose Roots to Recovery in Luton.
- Wednesday, 4th of September 2024
- Led by David Mansfield
In the last of a summer series of dual-task group sessions, our team was split with a walking/biking group heading to the Penrose Roots to Recovery garden and a running group heading to Holy Trinity Church.
The team's task in the garden was to tackle a patch of stinging nettles that had taken over a storage area behind the polytunnel. Kitted out with shears and rakes we worked from each end to meet in the middle, uncovering lost garden supplies in the process and filling two big bags with compost fodder.
Meanwhile the running group's task at the church was to give the railings a second coat of paint to finish the task we'd worked on over the summer stripping and repainting.
It's the time of year that darkness is creeping in so we had a dark journey back into town. Don't forget your lights for next week's run!
