Today we headed towards York to go to the beautiful Pool Bridge Farm for some wild swimming. Helen Noyes was the first one in and away, followed by Helen Steel and myself, with Uzair working his way up to getting into the cold water. The lake was 15 degrees but as soon as we were in and swimming, we soon warmed up. Both Helen's and I swam for just over 30 minutes, whilst Uzair kept to the shallow end where he could stand up...perfect spot for chatting to all the ladies as they entered the lake!! At one point, he disappeared and we thought he's either drowned or gatecrashed the sauna ...luckily it was the latter :)

All this followed by coffee and cake. A perfect Saturday afternoon. Thanks guys x

Tonight, 10 GoodGymers headed down to St Stephen's Church Hall to clear their garden. We haven't visited here since last summer and couldn't believe how overgrown it was again! We thought that we'd pulled all the weeds up from the roots last year, but unfortunately they were back in full force! As it was a big group, we got to work & cleared more or less all of the front garden. We'll be back in a few weeks to do the back garden.

Thanks to Helen for leading a warm down at the end.

Welcome to Leah & Ting who came for their first session tonight!

After a welcome box of cookies were provided by Jubz tonight, we nominated him our new Snack Force lead. Big responsibility but we think he's up to the job :)

After a last minute scramble to change task tonight, we decided to go back up to the OWLS allotment to finish the job we started last week. We weeded in the rain, the torrential rain! But a cookie break definitely helped.

After a vicious ant got into my sock, Jubz enjoyed informing me that ants actually sting, they don't bite. You learn something every week at GoodGym Leeds!

Thanks to all who braved the rain and apologies to those that missed out due to the change in task.

Well done to Katie Lees for completing her 140th good deed! What a superstar!
