we arrived at the wood faced with two piles of woodchip to spread with a mini group clearing mud off the recently flooded path.

Team Vicky, Neil and Debs tackled the smaller pile and make quick work before joining team bigger pile. Armed with lots of tools and wheelbarrows we got into a good rhythm and were a very efficient gang, accelerated by Leanne running all her barrow trips!

Whilst all this was happening Cara and Charlotte did a sterling jog of clearing the path.

All our efforts were rewarded with some of Jude's lovely cake!

An enjoyable morning had by all!

A rather sizeable GG contingent who were taking on the Dalby Head Torch race, plus a few who weren't, headed out the fab play area at the excellent Dalby Forest for a spot of bark chip raking

A few late-comers who were delayed by a forgotten head torch (classic mitch!) took on the leaves that had built up on the glorious Dalby cafe patio.

After 45 mins of "work" and after a few murmurs of Ed just getting GG to do the work of his team at Dalby, we were soon ready to down tools and get ready for the epic head torch challenge in North Yorkshire's finest outdoor recreational facilities

Good times had by all
