Thursday 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
Tonight we were helping The Windsor Boysโ School Boat Club filling potholes along the track and cutting some plants back. The track is used to transport the rowing boats on trailers from their storage areas to the river and potholes can cause damage to the boats.
Bekah and Mandy ran to meet the walkers - Caroline, Didem and Sue at Sutherland Grange and Adam met us at the task.
Ryan our Cox for the evening was at the ready with spades, shovels, rakes, lots of rocks/gravel/stones and some gardening equipment.
Mandy put the noughties dance tunes on the radio . Adam took possession of the wheelbarrow. Sueโs eyes lit up when she heard the word pruning and she was happily lost in the jungle ๐ฟ for a majority of the session. The rest of the crew grabbed a spade and launched into hunting for holes ๐ณ๏ธ and fill with gravel. We made our way from the entrance up the track to the river. Each filled pothole needed stomping down and raking over to get a good level surface. There was a bit of shuttle walking/running going on as we had to get the gravel from the pile and take it to the holes. Lots of exercise for all the group tonight and a lovely view of the Thames and some rowers. Looking back at the completed track was hole- y ful- filling. We had to drag Sue away from the shrubs ( sheโs hardcore!) as it was time for our end of session curtsy.
On the way back we waved at a stranger ๐๐ป thinking it was Adam ๐คฃ the poor man though we were potty ๐
We said our goodbyes and made our way home.
Thank you all as always Windsor GGs ๐ โฅ๏ธ๐๐ป
