This week again, four GoodGymers met at the Lower Infant School in Knaphill to carry on the work started in the trail garden.

Kirsty enrolled her husband Bryan to come and help, as we had realised, last week, that we needed more muscles for some of the tasks. Let's all welcome Bryan back to GoodGym Woking!

Olalekan was asked to dig some trenches following marked lines on the ground. These represent the different areas of the trail garden. Once he had done this hard work, instead of having a rest, Olalekan took hold of the rake and gathered more leaves. It looks like the never ending job! But we are in November and we are working in a wooded area....

Kirsty chose to do something different from last week and be more artistic: she joined the team who were painting the loooong fence. It is going to take quite a while and hopefully more parents will come and help in the following weeks.

Bryan was eager to use his DIY skills and started to assemble a water fountain. It is made of so many pieces that not everyone could do the job. I am sure Bryan cannot wait to resume his art work and will bring his power tools next time.

Anne was asked to support the stepladder while Mark and Vikki started to set up the beautiful teepee made of slats of wood. The children will certainly like it! Then, it was time to go back to cleaning the beams of the trail covered with green fungi.Quite a dirty job, but it is rewarding to see the end result. There are more beams to clean though...

All in all, we were all pleased with our Saturday morning mission. Olalekan and Anne ran back to town along the canal, making the most of the good weather!

Tomorrow, we might see you at junior parkrun; then on Wednesday we will help the Community Fridge in Knaphill.

In the meantime, happy running to you all.
