After a wet start to Saturday, the sun came out for our monthly trip to the Ham Lands, where we met Sharon and her merry band to do some good in nature.

This week’s task was taking up the surface muck after the tractors had been through to remove a patch of wild clematis. It was satisfying work, although with plenty of rakes and only one fork we were gathering the muck into piles faster than we could fork it into the bags.

Nevertheless, we made good progress, dragging the heavy canvas bags 100m or so to deposit in a waste area. As we neared completion Sharon called for a tea break and we stopped for a well earned rest and a cuppa and biscuit.

We’ll be back at the Ham Lands next month on the 10th October. Sign up here: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/goodgym-richmond-helping-the-happy-ham-landers-0c77efce-4924-4f58-b321-3513b956ac7f
