21 York Goodgymers kept the flag flying while Trainer Egg was on a much deserved ski trip in the Alps with Lizzie. We celebrated Becky's 50th Good deed with the now traditional Cape of Good Deeds and Paul led us out to Clarence Gardens with Barbara backmarking. We met up with Iain and set to work collecting leaves with rakes and handy leaf-scoopers.

Nicky said that she could swim pretty fast with two leaf -scoopers for paddles, so we were tempted to empty out a big pile of leaves for her to demonstrate.

Becky struck heroic poses with the aid of a rake for cape support while Tim mostly threw leaves around (when he wasn't running into garden benches that is). We bagged up a pile of leaves - we're pretty sure 50+ bags - and then headed off for some circuits of lunges, ladder climbers and rock, paper, scissors squats with bonus burpees for the losers.

Ellie & Leanne's game of rock, paper, scissors seemed to end with both of them losing - go figure!

Pretty soon it was time to head back to base with Tim dodging benches and a pause outside the art gallery for a heroic cape of good deeds slo-mo panning shot from Becky.

That little lot should help with our January Challenge.
