Today, two goodgymers cycled over to Gateshead to the HerbHub Allotment, to help out with the efficiency of a big ol' water butt.

This involved moving 10 heavy concrete slabs (four of these being really really heavy!!) a short distance - from the wheelbarrow to the new position in the pictures. This is so any rainfall doesn't have to navigate a complex guttering system, and instead pour pretty much straight into the butt.

With some impressive weightlifting on show, the task was completed in around half an hour, but was one of those tasks that could've easily been left for months to happen - so HerbHub were definitely grateful indeed :)

Hopefully Chris' blister from a pesky pinch point doesn't prove too painful!

Around 220 cyclists pedalled 50km around the streets of Newcastle all in solidarity with Palestine.

It was a ride full of hope and noise, and a lot of money has been raised so far for MECA and Gaza Sunbirds. You can donate below if you feel you can:
