Don’t blame me, I’m just escape goat
24 GoodGymers made their way to help the Bramble Hill Farm in Bristol.
- Saturday, 21st of September 2019
- Led by Bromley runner
A fabulous sunny Super Saturday as the majority of attendees convened at Mud Dock for a run over to Bramble Hill Farm on the Northern Slopes, where we were greeted by Kim and Addie and met up with the other GoodGym runners for this morning’s task.
Kim soon had us split into groups - the feeders, the composters and the cutters.
The feeders started by feeding the pigs who had started squealing as soon as we had arrived, before moving onto the ducks and chickens, filling water troughs and collecting eggs along the way, and then finishing off with the goats.
The composters busied themselves with ferrying barrow loads of compost from the top of the farm down to the vegetable beds to be spread amongst the soil.
Meanwhile, the cutters were armed with rusty saws and loppers and were tasked with clearing the dead parts of trees in the orchard, growing mostly sloes, to give some more space to the eagerly awaited arrival of some sheep later in the year.
Sidetracked only by the goats who clearly thought there was better food to be had by escaping from their pen, our crew had time to get the job done, rehouse the goats and enjoy some chocolate tea cakes and jammy dodgers in the glorious sunshine.
Always one of our favourite tasks and today certainly didn’t disappoint.
Big thanks to Liam and Danica for leading us over to the task (and some expert goatherding), Rich B for the pun, Kim for hosting us and giving us plenty to do and everyone else for just being awesome!
And a big welcome to Jon who joined us for his first GoodGym experience today, Matthew who was returning for his second and to Hannah for her first Saturday run!
