No Kings found here today

6 Goodgymmers were back at the Urban Garden, in Beaumontleys, part of E2 Online to help build the dream garden for their community. We welcomed Lucy who ran to the task and back for her first GoodGym session, heard that she enjoyed it! Good luck for your 20 miler on Sunday you'll be great.

Today's task was digging for treasures, the actual task was to move a mound of mud but inside we found things that resembled ancient remains, car parts, clothing, litter the team thought they were on Time team.

The team worked together and after some strength training by digging, we have moved most of the mound in preparation for building flower beds for our next task.

Weldone team, awesome effort on another cold morning, rewarded with hot bevies, keep doing good getting fit.

7 well prepared goodgymmers equipped with extra gardening tools met at the Urban Garden, an ongoing project planned by E2 Online, building the dream for nature and local community to enjoy the beautiful garden in the middle of an estate in Leicester.

Today's main task was to complete the showstopper steps filling with gravel and Stu wanted to make some adjustments to improve them further.

I was suprised to see Jimmy and Jeanette had made a dead hedge from all the dead sticks and leaves to encorage the wildlife whilst being somewhere to put the waste. They've inspired me to make one in my own garden at half term, it looked great.

We celebrated our January Challenge success with home baked blueberry muffins, and obviously a cup of char, as Jimmy says.

Before we knew, it was the end of the session and the steps were completed, the team are making such a big difference to get the Urban Garden into shape, weldone team smashing work again!

Stair way to heaven

As January closes in, this fantastic 7 met at the Urban Garden, an ongoing project planned by E2 Online, building the dream for nature and local community to enjoy the beautiful garden in the middle of an estate in Leicester.

Today's task was to make a start on the steps made from wooden sleepers, the team knew exactly what to do once they had a teethy saw.

Digging, sawing, moving sand bags, screwing, litter picking, ivy sawing, complete engineering job and work out included. The team were on a mission, the guys not leaving until the job was complete.

Their pure determination, sweat and tears has truely amazed me, the things you can achieve working as a team, the stair way to heaven.

Sun's out, muscles out!

Weldone to our team of 4 goodgymers who made their way (2 cycled) to the Urban Garden Project in Beaumontleys. After congratulating Stu and Jimmy on their Leics half marathon performance, a post race chat brought back the excitement of the race ready to start digging up bricks from the old pub. Rachel helped preparing the wood for the Wildflower planter and deposit the soil with her wheels, working hard! Rachel enjoyed her first experience with Goodgym, pleased the sun was out! Glad you could join us! Again amazed how quickly a job can be done with many keen strong hands!
