Congrats to Peter on leading his first GoodGym Manchester session!

Despite a very wet forecast 🌧 we were in Gorse Hill to help prepare the allotment for Gorse Hill Studios as part of their Green Rooms project for the winter.

We met in Gorse Hill park to collect loose leaves 🍂 plus a litterpick with a couple of rubbish 🗑 sacks and 10 bags full of leaves.

We used the leaves as mulch on the allotment to help the future beds and dampen any weed growth. Peter also brought some strawberry 🍓 runners to be planted and we took out any tomato plants 🍅 from inside the polytunnel.

With heavy rain and dark clouds gathering, we called it a day. We'll likely be back in the new year for spring prep and perhaps at the studios to help there too.

Happy 1st Birthday GoodGym Manchester

This evening, we met up for a jog followed by exquisite pizza and beer at Sandbar on Grosvenor St.

A ~4.3 km route covering the city centre near Bridgewater Hall, Hulme, Manchester Science Park, the UoM, and Oxford Road before settling on a watering hole.

Special kudos to Pavel for his first running workout 💪 for a while and was a good chatty run and pub trip discussing Halloween 🎃, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, Glossop, hot pot, gardening, GoodGym, and mushroom growing.

We were well lit, with an umbrella 🌂 on hand for the Manchester rain. See you all soon for more GoodGym Manchester exploits.
