On a unusually sunny Saturday morning, 4 Goodgymers set out to meet Mark from SAS and pick litter along the Avon Gorge. We have done this task about a month ago, yet there was newly washed up litter waiting for us on the grass verge. We ended up filling 6 big bags of rubbish and 2 of clear recycling in less than an hour. As satisfying as that result is, it's a sad reminder of how much rubbish is floating in the Avon... we shall be back next month to do it all over again...
Good job everyone!

Can you dig it? Well… our task today was to put in some new posts. Armed with special gadgets and ingenuity we dug the holes… then re-dug them when we hit a stone. Phill showed he was a dab hand with the saw to remove the pointy bit of the post, which wasn’t needed. There was even a light bulb moment as Alice saved a bulb (nice one Alice). After cementing the posts in all that was left was a bit of planting and we were done. Time for a post task rest.
Until next time…

We returned to the Northern Slopes on a chilly spring morning ready to take up our scythes and loppers. Heroically, we tackled the densest of bramble to enable access further along Novers Hill. The brambles proved as stubborn as ever, but our relentless determination (and a significant amount of elbow grease) helped us reach our goal: making a little dent in the impenetrable thicket. And as we gathered our tools at the end of the task, Julia reminded us that great things are achieved by many people making many little dents over time.
Credit to Richard G for the excellent pun!

It may started out chilly but we soon warmed up on our assigned tasks this morning.
The main objective was to widen out the path into the orchard. David, Sarah and Jason got stuck in with forks and spades, unearthing bramble roots and then turning over the earth to try and maintain the clearing they had created.
Meanwhile, Richard and Danica worked further down in the orchard using shears and loppers to clear brambles around two newly planted trees.
In what seemed like no time at all we had spent a productive hour at our tasks and were rewarded with hot drinks served from the back of the car by Peter!
