We came, we picked, we conquered.

Wednesday 28th October

Written by Laura

Tonight we headed to Rokeby Gardens & community woods in Headingley to chop hedges & to clean up a space that had been previously used as a homeless camp.

We cleared so much stuff, it just shows what a difference a GoodGym session can make. Well done team!

Keep it Wild, not Mild

Saturday 17th October

Written by Laura

Yesterday, 3 of us headed for a sauna and 'swim' at Swillington Wilds. It was a bit cold for a proper swim, so we had several dips to refresh ourselves instead.

What a lovely way to spend an afternoon, thanks girls.

Canal You Feel The Love?

Friday 9th October

Written by Laura

What a weekend the Leeds gang had during our first trip abroad. We travelled by trains, ferries and planes to meet up in Amsterdamp (as Sarah named it)!

Park run, galleries, museums, walking tours, canal boat trips, rain, coffee shops, pancakes, apple cake, waffles, cheese, Anne Frank, narrow rooms, winding stairs, espresso martinis, red wine spillages, Indonesian & Italian food and goats cheese with banana!! Phew....we need a week to recover!

What an epic trip, thanks for the giggles, the fun & the fantastic company. Now, where's next?!

We Know the Drill!

Wednesday 14th October

Written by Laura

Tonight, armed with drills, screws and head torches, we headed up to OWLS allotments to fix raised beds and to weed the paths for the last time this year. It got very dark up there, so I'm afraid it's dark tasks ahead for next few months.

Welcome to Elena who joined us for the first time.

Great work team, OWLS really do appreciate all of our hard work.
