Getting there

For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!

    About this session

    The Land have a lot of roading planings they need barrowing and raking to surface their path and car park. Should be a good work out.

    Needed: gardening gloves and enthusiasm. Meet at the task, then stick around for more fun Habxy/Wigginton based tasks throughout the afternoon.

    For completionist: to fully embrace the Haxbingtonfest spirit please join us for a further two tasks around Haxby and Wigginton immediately after this one.
