What a lovely evening to be in the park and for the inaugural GoodGym Coventry mile challenge.

17 of Coventry's finest headed to Spencer Park to reclaim the paths from foliage, soil, ivy and all sorts of other debris. This week we were joined by Hannah for her first run, welcome Hannah.

As the park isn't too far away, we were able to split into three teams and attack the overgrowth and reclaim the paths. There were some interesting finds along the way (a nappy?!?!) and a lot of quality chatting whilst the teams got on with the work in hand. Nigel completed some drystone wall style constructions, Lil, Debora, Meera, Natalie and Hannah swept a lot of debris filling an entire wheelie bin and Susanna, Alice, Amber, James, Alan, Damian, Nigel, Matt, Laura, Victoria and Jackie cleared back the paths and found the initial stone divide which had not been seen for may (10?!?!) years.

Having worked hard, we managed a sneaky play.

After all this hard graft, it was time for the inaugural GoodGym Coventry mile challenge around Top Green Park. Once the route was explained, the runners set off to establish their initial times. Great camaraderie was shown by all supporting fellow runners along the run and at the finish line. Well done all.

Finally, we headed back to Drapers with a sneaky game of Hopscotch on the way.

See you all next week as we head ton Carriers of Hope to help get them move Christmas gifts in their new warehouse. Have a lovely weekend and bank holiday, Liz x
