Portsmouth Report written by Jen Stoneham
After volunteering at Eastney Junior parkrun, Andy, Dave and I walked down the never-ending Ferry Road to meet up with the rest of the crew. One Triathlon spectator was very kindly waving a "Go Team Jen!" banner, which gave me the oomph I needed to get to the end of the road!
Abby (and Unofficial GGer Drew), Katie and Sanat then met us as we headed out onto the water to paddle kayaks 2 miles through Langstone Harbour back to the Watersports Centre.
We weren't expecting to see any seals (a highlight of all kayaking trips!) due to tide times, but we were lucky enough to see two groups. The first lot were about half way along our journey, so there was time for a pit-stop to watch them dipping in and out of the water and having a good old sunbathe.
Once back, we helped the Believe and Achieve team to wash down all the gear, rock the kayaks and organise seats and life-jackets for storage.
We then enjoyed a warm but pleasant walk back down the Coastal Path, where we think we may have spotted our seal friends from land.
This was one of my favourite GG tasks ever, i hope you all had as much fun as I did!

Congratulations to Andy for completing his 50th Good Deed this evening! I will do my best to locate the glamorous rosette for the next task!
We managed to complete two Good Deeds in just 90 minutes this evening, with both a leaflet drop for Fratton Community Centre and some planting and litter picking for Make.
The dry conditions over the past few weeks made the soil in the Make garden difficult to turn over, but Jane's trips to and from the pub next door to fill up our water bottles helped soften things a bit.
With a bit of team work and a few different approaches, we managed to uproot a very dense but very dead plant, and replace him with some donated geraniums, petunias and begonias. The area was already looking much better after some other supporters of Make had been planting, but hopefully the last little corner will be looking lovely and bright as our donations bloom.
