Weigh to go and have a crate time

Bristol Report written by Shona Buchanan

On this sunny eve in May, the GoodGymers of Bristol were once again on the hunt to help.

AU, get up that golden hill*

*science pun

A small group of adventurous volunteering-warriors were led by Paul (who thought he had got away from all this Run Leading malarky) on a 7.5km run (on a Tuesday!) up the quad-complaining hill to Golden Hill Community Allotments.

There, Pete from Golden Hill introduced them to their task: clearing a hefty pile of stuff from an area of the allotment, ready for a polytunnel to be built there in the future. As our hunters love to help in any way they can, they whipped up the area into order in no time, and set on their merry way on the quad-thanking downhill home.

Can you believe the amount of tins?

This left a larger group of help-hunters prowling central Bristol to find a good cause to get stuck into. Although it took three different routes of different lengths to get there (thank you Liam and Mel for opening my eyes to the many streets of Bristol!), we all eventually made it to the East Bristol Food Bank distribution centre.

Andy from the Foodbank had set up not one, but two, weighing stations, so we could double our speed and joy of using them scales. Amidst tinned-tomato proposals, the group did a brilliant job of sorting food donations, carting crates and emptying boxes to leave Andy's team with a lot of boxes of categorised and weighed food ready for distribution. Well done team!

Just in case everyone's arms had not been pumped up enough on their task, the run home saw us stop for a couple of joyous tricep dip and press up stations and I only got drowned out by complaints for half of that time, win!

It was brilliant to see lots of new faces out with us tonight, you all did a brilliant job and we are looking forward to seeing you again soon!
