The Grasmere Nursery School called us up with a request to help empty their sandpit for a refresh with new sand.

So, in less than ideal weather we set off on a 5km run out to the school, joined by a sprinkling of light rain.

We arrived in good time after a good consistent endurance-paced run to the nursery. The sand, thanks to the rain, was wet and compacted, really hard to scrape up and into the barrows to shift out to the skip.

Getting the barrows up the ramp into the skip was the heaviest job, but working together to spread the load ensured we got the sand into the skip safely.

When time was up at the task, we headed off into the weather again, a gentle run back into town keeping us warm as the cold wind pushed back!

Five Goodgymers helped out at Foodcycle doing hosting, pot washing and clearing up. 41 guests plus take aways enjoyed vegetable curry with egg, bombay potatoes and naan followed by pancakes with caramelised bananas. The meal went down a treat !
