It was quite a spectacle at Mousehold Heath this evening as we were treated to a beautiful rainbow as we were about to take our group photo.

Jen and Bobby lead the run from The Forum with several others cycling too.

This was possibly our biggest turnout since post-covid, with 23 of us making an appearance.

It was the last bracken pulling session of the summer. Will met us with pitch forks (in a nice way) so we could pile up the pulled bracken... and there was a lot of it!

What a lovely evening with the sunset coming over as we finished up for the evening. A few people stopped at the pub on the way back to have a well deserved drink.

Tonight, 7 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 3km to Bowthorpe Community Garden.

When we arrived we were given a list of tasks and a set of tools to use, along with some yummy refreshments on offer!

Everyone chose their role, and in one hour we had trimmed back the length of the hedge, cut down the hollyhocks and dead-headed the roses. We also weeded and hoed the raised bed, and cleaned and scraped the brickwork flooring.

Kudos to Myfanwy on her first Good Deed!

The sun set on a lovely evenings work, as we all headed back home.

Tonight 18 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 6km to Mousehold Heath.

We returned to this 140 acre heathland to continue the conservation work improving the biodiversity of this historical part of Norwich.

Armed with gloves and forks we cleared two large areas of bracken, allowing the underlying heather and grass to continue to grow.

Kudos to Ed and Ana who completed their first good deeds, and a BIG shout out to Sarah for her 50th good deed tonight!

Despite the summer rain, we ended the evening with a picnic in the nearby bandstand for more 7th birthday celebrations of GoodGym Norwich!
