Who knew moving trees wood be so tyring!?

Six sensational runners ran 4km through 'tarn' to the local carers garden and community space to help Gordon with his list of jobs!

Tonight our team of six included our two favourite GG Sheffield runners Steve and James, Super Sorcha returning after a busy few weeks, Awesome Anna coming back for her second week at GG Barnsley and Marvellous Mairead who made the effort to come even though she was feeling unwell!!

After a steady run through the town, we arrived to the find Gordon waiting for us at the gate, always so happy to see us! He had a list tonight and was certain we'd get through it all in a flash! First was the fruit pickin' which Anna and Sorcha very quickly volunteered to do! Gordon nominated 'the lads' to move the twelves trees he planned to make into 36 benches which left Mairead (&me) with the odd jobs, starting with a huge pile of grass and hay that needed moving!

The fruit pickers worked super speadily shaking the trees and collecting the crop, Sorcha focussed her attention on the raspberries, whilst planning what she would bake with them! Meanwhile the lads set about moving the trees from the woodland closer to the cabin. The trees were WAY bigger than we had expected, which took a lot of effort and definitely worked up a sweat! Steve and James certainly got more of a workout than they signed up for and kept smiling throughout - great work lads! Anna helped moving the trees later too, getting an awesome upper body workout! Mairead, who always loves a chinwag with Gordon, showed her multi-tasking abilities as she shifted grass from the huge pile, into a wheelbarrow, moved it 100m down the path and kept the conversation flowing! Joined by Sorcha later, they destroyed that pile of grass!

For our fitness session tonight I's spotted a pile of tyres we could use! We lined them up in an obstacle course including some hoola hoops we'd found! One by one, each GGer had to run the obstacle course through the tyres, wiggling out the hoola hoops and finishing with some lunges. Meanwhile the others rotated through a sets of planks, squats, burpees (thanks to Sorcha!), press ups and star jumps!

We said our goodbyes and headed back up hill to Shaw Lane, everyone was feeling tyred after tonight so we took it nice and steady. Another great night with a lovely bunch of people, good job team!
