Sunday 14th June
Report written by Catherine
The Shindig 2026 Sunday walk had something for everyone, combining history and nature along 5km of trails around YHA National Forest. With nods to the area's industrial past in the beautiful countryside setting, 25 GoodGymers joined for a very mindful morning.
We walked through Conkers, along the Ashby Canal, past Moira Furnace and around Donisthorpe Woodland Park, before heading along part of the Ashby Woulds Heritage Trail (a disused railway) back to base.
The highlight was stumbling across a Living History Camp as part of an event at Moira Furnace Museum. As well as a history lesson, we got a snapshot of the more simple parts of wartime life. Not something you see every day!
Good movement, good time in nature, and good connection, what better way to round up another beautiful GoodGym Shindig weekend 💛
