New Brooms please

A great morning task revisiting Mousehold Heath to cut down some broom off the slopes near the Britannia Road car park.

It’s important for some areas of the heath to have clear grassland for wildlife and to maintain the stunning views of the city the area offers.

12 GoodGymer's got through a lot of broom and deposited the cuttings further down the hill which will provide a habitat for other wildlife too.

A big welcome to Aardra and Deepak on their first GoodGym task and congratulations to Danni for reaching their 10th task!

382 participants & 33 volunteers made Catton Parkrun happen today, although cold it was a far better weather morning thank last weeks mud fest! We had cake, lots of cake today with two of Cattons Core team celebrating 50th birthdays and a cake stall run by 2 Catton regulars running the London Marathon and raising funds for their charities NARS & Little Lifts two local charities so good luck to them both.

Today at Leabridges juniors we had a new young person volunteering who has started his bronze DOE, Jack son of our Goodgymer Stephen. It’s good to see young people wanting to help others enjoy the great outdoors & helping them with their wellbeing. 7 young people joined us in the park to enjoy 2k of enjoyment

235 muddy runners, walkers & joggers at Catton Park, many unfortunately slipped there way around especially the finish line. Well done everyone
