The makings of a cycle path

18 Goodgym Yorkies descended on Rawcliffe park for a night of assorted good deeding. The first task required 3 brave souls who would be happy to head out into the dark woods with only their headtorches for guidance. Up stepped Tim, Egg and Elyse, with Tim boldly claiming that he could navigate his way using the stars. With such orienteering skills on show the team set off with bolt-cutters to repair a fence around the park that had been neglected over the years.

Our second team, complete with honorary GG Yorkie - Katie's Dad, were armed with loppers and spades and told to get to work on a bit of cycle path at the entrance to the park and ride that had become well hidden. The area was so overgrown that before long the team had revealed an additional metres width of long lost cycle path

And the third team of GGers set to work on a solid pile of stone with some mattocks. This was then shovelled into barrows and used to restore a path. Lizzie, who wasn't in the most sensible of footwear and Val, who was lacking a headtorch, would only go so far with their wheelbarrows before their lack of provisions limited them. But the team still got the job done.

Before long groups 2 and 3 had returned back to base. But still no sign of our woodland adventurers. Could it be that Tim wasn't the expert navigator he proclaimed to be? We were getting ready to send out a search party, until some distant headtorches started getting nearer and nearer. With everyone back safe we had time for a quick group photo before heading off into the night
