We started today's session by saying our geeky interest in honour of Embrace your Geekness day! There were mentions of spreadsheets, cloud spotting and jigsaws to name a few.

We also congratulated the group of goodgymers who completed the 58 mile ultra in the lakes in the heatwave and the group who ran up and down Snowdon despite their race being cancelled.

Mitch then led off a small splinter group to Acomb Library.This is what they got up to-

We arrived at the library not to new raised bed, but old rotten beams of wood. We quickly got to work moving them from the garden and out to the drive. These will now be used for the path at fishponds woods.

After half an hour the garden was left crystal clear.

The remainder of the group headed to New Walk to drag many sacks of grass to the collection point. In goodgym style this was completed much quicker than expected so we headed off for a bit of fun fitness in the form of goodgym scrabble.

Despite stretching it out we still had a nice early finish so a few thirsty folk headed to the pub where in true geek style, Paul showed some strava tricks which got us debating each others' popularity!

Two of us headed over to Woodthorpe for the annual GoodGym Woodfest litter pick.

We arrived with the event still going strong with loads of people sat enjoying the music, sunshine and food/drink. The volunteers had been keeping the site tidy throughout the day so there wasn't much stray litter. People were very grateful to us though for taking their plastic glasses and litter as we worked our way around the site.

The team asked us to help with the bunting as well and we improvised with the litter pickers to get the bunting over a troublesome branch. We also invented a new game of litter picker fencing which will definitely be making an appearance at a group run in the future!
