Digging Deep at Jesmond Community Orchard

Sunday 19th April

Written by Newcastle runner

Four GoodGymers visited Jesmond Community Orchard on a very pleasant Sunday. The tasks ranged from weeding around the base of trees and watering a new hedge to digging out three well-entrenched fence posts.

This was GoodGym Newcastle's first visit to the orchard for almost six years. We certainly won't be waiting as long before returning!

Stand and Deliver

Monday 27th April

Written by Newcastle runner

On a very pleasant evening, we spread the word about GoodGym to another 500 households with some leaflets. There was one particularly 'interesting' interaction with one resident who had some unfortunate views. Otherwise, it was a very good evening!

Hoe Far Will We Go? All the Way to Gateshead

Monday 20th April

Written by Newcastle runner

On a sunny Monday evening, four GoodGymers embarked on our longest Monday night run for quite some time, possibly ever. Due to a couple of unfortunate road closures in Gateshead, due to the flyover, the outbound run was a bit further than planned. We covered over six miles in total on the journey from Stepney Bank Stables to Age UK Gateshead's dementia day centre and back again.

This was our second visit to Age UK's centre in quick succession, as we attempted to rid their front garden of weeds. Many of them were very well entrenched, and there were lots of them, so more work is required to make the garden look pristine.

Richard, Damu, Lucy and Scott all showed a particular commitment to the getting fit part of GoodGym's 'Do Good, Get Fit' motto tonight!
