Intrepid GoodGymers took the roads, woods and waters for their Monday Miles this week. Laura was our early-bird, with an early morning cycle to the station, Sinéad made the most of her lunch break and Nia and her teeny GoodGymer headed out to their local Family Hub. Andy braved Southwick Golf Course for his run, whilst Dave hot-footed it to the train station on his way home from work. I think I got nearly as wet on my morning walk as I did at my evening swim!

From showers to sunshine, high winds to high temperatures, this was certainly a fickle day to get out and active!

After the forecast all day rain 🌧 failed to materialise (apologies for now jinxing it 😣) I popped to Kingston Rec to give the new saplings a much needed water.

Whilst there, I removed the last few collars that were starting to strangle some of them!

Jen, Dave, Alice and I joined the Portsmouth Tree Wardens to water the very many young trees at the Cascades Tree Nursery.

First we helped set up a production line to fill the watering cans from the 100 litre tank and lined up & tipped the cannisters to fill the tank.

We watered, did a little litter pick and relocated a family of snails who had taken up residence in a watering can. Jen and Dave showed great balance and agility by standing on the wall to water the hard-to-reach trees.
