Hi Ho, Hi Ho, its off to work we go!
Tonight 7 GoodGymers ran or cycled 6km to support Marlpit Community Garden.
Organisers Tish & Mark met us at the gates with 7 wheelbarrows loaded with wood chip.
We were lead through the allotments past beautiful sunflowers and apple trees, to an area 250m away to unload the wood chip onto a new path.
Winds chimes whistled a happy tune as we made regular shuttle runs of wood chip, walking approx 3-4km across the evening.
After an hour we were rewarded with juicy red apples to choose from, even Snow White would have been tempted!

We cleared the back garden of bindweed. Probably there are some bits left hiding, but we did our best to get rid of any bindweed leaves etc as otherwise it grows back with a vengeance.
Green bin full. Very satisfying!

Tonight 19 GoodGymers ran 6km to Mousehold Health to help support the biodiversity in this natural habitat.
It's a regular and popular task on the GG Norwich calender lead by Will the local warden, who provided tools and a gave us a historical background on this famous site.
We split into 2 groups, covering a wide area pulling up bracken to allow heather and other plant species to grow. We also used 5 pitch forks to clear the area of a former chapel ready for a Heritage Open Day History Walk taking place this weekend. See the booking link if you are interested in attending.
We also celebrated the runners, volunteers and cheerleaders, who took to the streets of the city centre for Run Norwich 10km yesterday! Nice one team.
After a swift hours work it was time to bid farewell. We will be back again for more conservation work in the next month.

I marshalled at Eaton Junior Parkrun. There were still a good number of runners despite it being Run Norwich day, which might have preoccupied some parents from running families.
