Tonight we welcomed Louise from London and adorned her with the cape of good deeds for completing 1000 tasks! Amazing work, well done!

We then headed off to Green Lane allotments with Ed at the helm and David and Jenna bringing up the rear.

upon arrival we were met by Colin and Mario who took us to our tasks. Our main jobs tonight were barrowing woodchip and raking up twigs and leaves from the path.

We then finished off the night with a quick game of body part match! We promise we kept it all above board!

It was then time run back to base when a few had worked up enough thirst for a trip to the pub!

Good Gym York kicked of the York Great British Spring Clean in style - nearly! The litter picking fairies had been out in Holgate recently so the haul of litter was a little lighter than expected but still we managed to get a good bag full each. Treasures included a tyre, hanging baskets, wheel hub.... Thanks to Paul & his magical wizardry for the pun which he manifested in the Fox post task.

Tonight was a perfect GG York task with absolutely zero skill required, just hard graft and the ability to break stuff! But before we got stuck in to the session we celebrated the previous week's happenings with J, PK and Leanne having completed a via ferrarta course and a couple of p.1's at parkrun for Matt and Ed (not that it's a race, of course!)

So off to the task, with Vicky and Babs being our biker gang, Laura leading a steady group and Ed leading the main group with Amy backmarking.

A very enthusiastic welcome greeted us at Glen Allotments and some excellent instructions which basically boiled down to "move stuff from here and chuck it in the skip. Oh, and here's a hammer if you want to bash it up a bit"! There was also the promise of some baked goods at the end, (but only if they'd earned it - Ed)

We soon got into the swing of things with a one group staying in the allotment and handing stuff to our runners and then brining it over to Mitch and Michael who were on skip organising and smashing duties. There were all sorts of methods for breaking the items down including chucking it on the floor, kicking it, bashing it with other stuff and eventually making use of the aforementioned hammer 🔨

Before long the skip was full and the allotment plot was looking a whole lot clearer, even if there was still a bit left over that we couldn't fit into the skip. Still definitely worthy of some cake, but only after fitness....

This week, the group were organised into 4 teams with members of each team coming up to collect a card from Ed which corresponded to a particular exercise. The team that completed the most exercises and therefore had collected the most cards would be first in line for cake. This clearly spurred on Max's team who completed a whopping 15 exercises and had first pick of the rather excellent flapjacks and rock cake 🎂
