Scone with the wind (and rain!)

Liverpool Report written by Bekah West

John from the Friends of Everton Park jokes that if you want to find a summers eve guaranteed to rain, check the calendar for the Everton Community Garden Open Evening. And true to form, despite the recent heatwave we've been experiencing, the evening was grey and wet - though warm.

However, the garden was well prepared, with large tents for attendees to huddle under plus a stage tent for the musician to keep dry whilst he serenaded us with classics. Goodgym Liverpool are regular helpers at Everton Park and the Community Gardens, and it was a great turnout despite the weather, in no small part due to Goodgym's efficient leafleting of the Everton Telegraph earlier in the week.

The gardens put on a BBQ, a bar, and a scone station for attendees to enjoy, whilst the poly tunnels were open with gardeners available to discuss all the community gardens have to offer.

It's always nice to spend some social time with goodgymmers and we enjoyed the rare opportunity to actually sit down and chat for a while! There was lots of interest in Goodgym from many attendees, and we proudly extolled the virtues of GG - there may even be a some new sign ups or tasks coming off the back of our conversations.

Well done to those who braved the drizzle to turn out and support the gardens, and thank you to John and the Friends of Everton Park for another fabulous evening. It's lovely to see the hard work everyone puts in to the gardens being enjoyed by the local community.

Now back to work for us!

Raising the Bar at Barmouth 10k

Liverpool Report written by Bekah West

What a day!

4 goodgymmers from Liverpool made their way under the tunnel, across the border and through the valleys to beautiful Barmouth, ready for the Barmouth 10k.

When Sally Ann first floated the idea of running this race together on her birthday, superwoman Heetu signed up without hesitation. Bekah - who had only recently got comfortable with a 5k - took some convincing, but Sallyann was so adamant Bekah could do it that she started to believe it. After a brief consideration, Liam reckoned he'd give it a go. And so a plan was formed.

We headed to Barmouth the night before, to carb up and ensure we were well rested for the 11am start time. The British weather was typically erratic, with blaring sunshine, coastal winds, and ferocious rain in the run up to the race. Sadly due to injury Sally Ann was unable to run the race, but being the selfless and inspiring supporter that she is, she took to the role of chief cheerleader with gusto and dedicated herself to motivating and celebrating the three runners. Nobody's training plan had quite panned out as expected, and there was some trepidation as we headed towards the start line, confident only that we should position ourselves near the back! The race started with sunshine breaking through the clouds and a good sea breeze. The route is up a short incline, down and over the Barmouth bridge, then along a track following the estuary, before a turning point at 5k to head back.

Around half way through the run, a light drizzle started. Then it rained. Then it poured. At one point the rain was hammering down, but the runners weren't to be deterred. By far one of the most challenging parts of the run is the steep "hill of doom" at 9.5k coming off the bridge. Sally Ann positioned herself just before the final corner, after the hill, and reported three massive smiles as she cheered us on the final straight.

We finished absolutely drenched but euphoric at the achievement. Heetu - an excellent runner, though she'll never admit it - had thoroughly enjoyed the scenery, managing to look up, take it all in and attempt to run alongside the train she was delighted to spot. Liam, a solid runner who jumps into these things with little prep and always manages to pull them off, made excellent time and managed to navigate the rain, mud and slippery bridge like a pro. Bekah was absolutely delighted to complete her first 10k without stopping; having gone from being unable to run a 5k without intermittent walking, completing 10k was a huge achievement. Sally Ann was overcome with pride for everyone achieving their goals, and spirits soared as we met with medals and lovely teal 10k t-shirts at the finish line.

The team had surprised Sally Ann with cards, cake and lovely gifts that morning, and we had a champagne toast before a lovely dinner showcasing the best of Welsh local cuisine. We each left feeling thoroughly rejuvenated from a wonderful weekend celebrating hard work, dedication, support and friendship. Well done guys, huge round of applause to each of you.

Monumental Weeding at St James's Gardens.

Liverpool Report written by Sallyann Hardwick

Despite a weather forecast suggesting we would have a wet task 16 Goodgymers met under dry skies with Friends of St James Gardens.

Our task was to clear the area around Huskissons monument. it's a large paved area that had become a growing space for a large amount of weeds in between the slabs.

We welcomed Abi who is from Climate Coalition who came to join in and find out more about Goodgym Liverpool for Great Green Week.

It was such a lovely atmosphere with so many people working together. Plenty of opportunities to chat as we worked which is always a plus (in this report writers opinion). Michael from Friends Of St James Park also kept us entertained with his vast collection of jokes.

One of the great things about our tasks is that you see such great results in just an hour. Many hands really do make light work. The difference between the start and finish surprised us all. We still have a bit to finish so will be back next week to finish the task.
