Second of our Tuesday evening summer sessions saw 4 Goodgymers run from Jenno’s, Everard’s Meadows, to run to Millfield Primary School, taking the scenic route through Osier Nature Reserve. We then met another 6 Goodgymers to bring our group to a huge 10.

With 3 new members this evening they had a tour of what we had completed last week, and the wigwams were built with strength as they hadn't moved an inch. Shout outs to Annie Siânna and Sue on their first Goodgym sessions. There was a common trend that they all work in schools around Leicester from teachers to teaching assistants we were well in the knowledge this eve. Sianna and Sue joined forces with Mel and Lynn making the path more defined finding logs and sticks, meanwhile Annie helped cut down overgrown weeds from the path with Stu. I'm hoping Stu has a rest this morning as he had already ran 10 miles today before running atleast another 6 this evening, forgetting that wednesday night is race night!

Dave was busy using some recycled rope from his boat to make the wigwams safer and created a wigwam tunnel along with a little tyre swing, deffinatly using his knott skills.

Pleased to see Tommo join us again, working with Jimmy further down the path to wheelbarrow the rest of the wood chip. Time was soon up for some of us to make the return run where mine and Jimmy's bikes were waiting for us.

Weldone team fantastic efforts from everyone, the secret garden is really taking shape now, once finished will really benefit the whole school for the kids to learn about nature in a fun way, I know we will have fun doing good whilst keeping fit.
