Tonight we headed up to Bedford Fields to meet Beth to do lots and lots of weed pulling. Nothing is more satisfying than pulling a load of sticky weeds with a rake! Lots of nettle stings later, we finished off by picking some raspberries and gooseberries, they were delightful! Welcome to 3 newcomers tonight, Basil, Yike & Manaswini, we hope to see you again soon.

What a great weekend the GoodGym Leeds crew just had!

We headed up to near Appletreewick in the Yorkshire Dale's for a night of camping.

Camping & Clueless: My lack of camping skills were on full display & along with a borrowed, very sad looking tent, we set up our pitch. Adam & Eva were the heroes of the hour as they'd luckily brought a spare that Alice and I could use. Thanks so much guys! We were warm & dry which somehow I doubt we would have been in the other one.

We then headed off for a 5 hour hike around the beautiful dales, the highlight being the waterfall at the Valley of Desolation, some ducklings & the Yorkshire Dales ice cream. Jason managed to get a squelchy boot but luckily we had no other incidents!

We then headed back for some food in Addingham and a camp fire with roasted marshmallows in the evening.

The next morning we packed up (I made a mess of that too) & headed for breakfast before setting off home. Thanks to Jason for his tea/coffee set up in the morning.

Thanks so much to Jubz for his organisation skills & his very thorough spreadsheet & for bringing the fire. You did a great job. And to Katie Lees for her map reading on the walk & to everyone else for their help during Tent Gate!!

Welcome back to Eva, it was great to have you along for the weekend :)

Helen was the superhero, cycling to & from the campsite and just casually throwing in an 8 mile run on Sunday morning for good measure! We're all in awe if you!

Thanks all, until next year...

Adam flew the GoodGym flag at Bedford Fields this afternoon for a spot of gardening with the volunteers. Good work Adam!

Four GoodGymers made their way down for a Friday night social at Europe's largest arcade - Arcade Club!

The night consisted of dance mats, air hockey, tekken, tetris, flight simulator, pinballs, racing (I came first place wooooo!) and a 4D zombie shooting game! What a great night with a great group.

We had another fantastic evening up at OWLS allotments in Headingley. We weeded large parts of the plot as usual and no doubt will do it all again next month! Jubz was very generous and gifted the group a selfie stick so that we can finally all get in pictures. He also wore his shirt backwards which everyone was too polite to point out (apart from me)! Congratulations to Shannen on her 40th good deed tonight & to Christian on his 42nd (sorry I missed your 40th)! You guys are awesome! Well done team and thanks for a great evening.

The Leeds gang had a great night at Bedford Fields yesterday.

We ran up via the ridge & did some leafleting (see the separate report) & then headed to Bedford Fields to clear a path of lots of sticks and brambles, while another group cleared the public path. A few of us managed a break to play on the swing which is hidden at the top of the garden (it's not all hard work).

Super Helen had to her wear her cape & mask to celebrate a whopping 202 good deeds...what a hero!! Well done Helen!

Jubz then took a group to the pub to see Man United get beat... while the rest of us took a slow run back to Heart.

Welcome to Rachel & Clarice, we hope to see you again soon.
