Great to be joined by Ashley and Janna to meet our host Mark to get on board again to help surfers against sewage. We scaled the wall down to a safe plaice on the banks, and started to hook litter into our council provided bags. Fish of the day were 2 fishy toys, caught on camera. With only 8 pairs of fins we accumulated 6 full bags of litter , swimming the extra mile to clean under the bridge path too. We were fully bladdered by our efforts and migrated back to our spawning grounds. 👏

After our stint up at Nover's steps, the group came down to help Barney and Jackie at the berry maze. The weather was still holding up as we had a relaxing de-weeding session. It was Amy's first time at the berry maze, and I'm sure it was no coincidence that she wore headgear to suit the occasion. We spent the hour chatting, sorting out the posts, and flinging weeds into the abyss, whilst Emma got to do her favourite job of pushing the mower around. Great to see everyone out for the double deed day - keep your eyes on the site as there's another one coming up in December!

Time flies, the leaves are turning, and the temperatures are dropping... Only a few weeks ago, we had the hottest day of the year. And how does a good GoodGymer spent the hottest day of the year?! Weeding of course!!! We met for a MEGA weeding session at the Berry maze to rescue (our) precious raspberries from being suffocated by weeds. There where plenty of areas to be tackled so we joint forces with some other berry maze volunteers and clear the most over grown areas first. Sweating heavily in the midday sun and 30 degrees of heat, weeding turned into a full body exercise. This really reminded us what GoodGym is really about - doing good and somehow get fit doing so, if only by loosing a few pounds in sweat that day ;)

well done everyone and apologies for the late report! Sarah
