Completed my first bee walk of the year for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, and spotted lots of queens out from hibernation. We've uploaded the results to the website. Join in by plotting a route near you, and counting the bees once a month to help scientists understand where bumblebees are thriving.

Depsite a forecast for heavy rain all morning, 8 GoodGymers (plus 4 young runners/assistants; thanks Bonnie, Ada, Ada and Leo) turned up smiling to support the Junior Park Run. The main team were extra grateful for our support today as at one point they were concerned they would have to cancel it due to many of their regular volunteers being involved in the Colchester Half Marathon. We successfully kept the 44 runners safe as they ran around the course, and I like to think we contributed significantly to their enjoyment of the event as we encouraged them on their way. 12 runners even beat their personal best today.

A chilly morning in Colchester but lots of parkrun enthusiasm from the juniors who did a great job of running the 2km round Old Heath rec.
Lots of cheers and high fives from our GoodGym crew, including two babies in carriers - surely the youngest GoodGym volunteers yet?!
A special (nearly) birthday shout out to Andy and thanks for having us all for coffee and homemade biscuits!
