GIVE EM A CHEER!

We were back off to Lynwood Gardens again this week to continue helping Regather at this urban forest sight. On arrival GORGEOUS GARETH quickly got us into teams and briefed us in the task that this week involved;

  • Shifting & Spreading good old wood chip
  • Ho-ing down weeds
  • Chopping and sawing branches ready for weaving into a weaved house
  • Ground Clearance
  • Smashing stakes down

It was a hi-hoe, hi-hoe, it's off to work we go for all, with Sister Sledge KIM going for it with the MC Hammer to Fun-guy TERRIFIC TOM (see pic for pun..), to our group of ladies chipping away at their piles all were getting stuck in, can you be-weave it? Well, I suppose where there's a willow, there's a way...

Once we all got packed up we headed over to the nearby by playground that took the group for a walk on the wild slide (Feel da riddem, feel the ride, come on up, it's GoodGym time).

On the way home we had a 'not so secret' sprinter who went off like a rocket off the front for some sprint and return interval work before returning back to base to the beautiful grass to get stretched off until next week!
