We once again helped out at Portsmouth Hospitals charity colour dash fun run!

Donna added the run to the day with a 10 miler to the task. Myself, Jen and mini GG-er Alice opted for a motorised transport.

We were quickly into action, helping to hold the start/finish line up whilst it was pegged into the ground.

Then, after a coffee pick-us-up, we headed for paint station 3. We were once again accompanied by some lovely folk from Southsea Castle Rotary Club.

After dousing the runners (and plenty on ourselves!!!) with paint powder of various colours. We ended the morning with an icy treat to combat the temperatures that were climbing again.

It was a very balmy evening for a spot of burdoch banishing, but many hands made light work!

Abby was incredibly proficient in digging in the very dry soil to get up the burdoch roots. Katie found what could have been a carrot plant, or perhaps a deadly hemlock amongst the weeds. Despite the task being at the pick-your-own orchard, somewhat wisely it was decided to leave that one behind.

We got some extra exercise in by jumping the stepping stones that were uncovered by our de-weeding efforts. Conversations went from the bizarre to the ridiculous, with much content probably unsuitable for publication. Although, I feel it is safe to confirm that the animated fox in Disney's Robin Hood was a handsome fellow.

This evening was sadly Andy's last GoodGym Portsmouth task before he heads off to Bath, but he has reassured us he will be back for plenty of visits! We were able to enjoy a nice beverage in a pub garden to round of the evening... although I'm not sure we'll be allowed to order Aperol Spritz again!
