Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Tonight we were just off the Maidenhead Road in Windsor on a committed mission. The long pathway had got so overgrown that the access to the houses that were occupied by the elderly residents was proving difficult.

Getting there:- Jen and Didem walked from The Binoy. Bekah, Helen and Mandy ran from home. Sue and Adam met us there.

Sue and Adam made an amazing head start ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿปalongside Helen by the time the other walkers/runners had arrived and Sue had luckily taken some before photos in the light ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ“ธ . They had chopped then filled a huge bag full of cuttings. The rest of us needed to catch up so we got our gloves on and chose a tool from Sueโ€™s mobile shed ๐Ÿคฃ we had quite a long stretch to cover so we took an area and cut back what we could. Lots of spikey brambles, stinging nettles etc but we battled well.

We had a chat about our days/weeks while we worked and Bekah multi tasked as she was also the photographer ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

The sunset a dry evening was lovely but darkness was soon upon us and despite our torches we couldnโ€™t continue as it was so dark along the passage and we were running out of bags.

We dragged the bags to the main road for the council to collect.

Fortunately (or unfortunately however you prefer to look at it ๐Ÿคฃ) there was time to do a quick workout. Jen had a challenge to do squats today so the traffic passing by got a good view ๐Ÿคฃ

Not forgetting the Windsor curtsy and bow before we partly walked together before going our separate ways home.

Thank you for coming. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
