A beautifully sunny if chilly morning greeted 8 GoodGymers as they gathered on the Ham Lands with Sharon and her team.

Our task today was to clear the brambles covering a pathway to clear it for safer passage for walkers. The brambles were tenacious to say the least - some of us were chopping them with loppers while others dug out the roots - but we made good progress, rapidly filling refuse sacks which were then emptied in the undergrowth.

Meanwhile part of the team tackled the ivy spreading across the ground, pulling up great clumps and filling the bags.

It was a satisfying mission and the team retired happy to the Swiss Bakery for well-deserved coffees and treats.

Next time will be on April 11th - sign up here: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/helping-the-happy-ham-landers-46894cf6-7f0c-466b-b358-13b5740bca60
