Ivar and Felicity were the two GoodGymers to head to Oxleas Woods this morning — which was fitting, as it was also a very crisp two degrees above zero. Luckily, around two dozen equally brave volunteers turned up.

After meeting Christine and the Friends of Oxleas Woodlands by the café, we headed into the woods to get stuck in. Our task: repeatedly ferry hefty, tightly bundled sticks to help raise a dead hedge deeper in the woodland. Lots of walking, lots of carrying, and lots of dogs running around hoping that the sticks were there to play fetch with.

It turned out to be quite a good workout, but only Strava can tell you how good.
