THE GOODGYM BBC DREAM TEAM DO IT AGAIN AND WHAT A CRACKER!!
Nothing rains on our parade in the west country, least of all the wet stuff that falls from the sky, just a few no shows today but we still managed a healthy 10 for a 9k round trip to DRYARCH orchard to set up ready for WASSAIL SUNDAY.
WELCOME TO GOODGYM BRISTOL AND CARDIFF
It was absolutely fabulous to have some old and new faces join us in Bath for a bit of tourist Goodgym group running with just THE TWO BATH BUNS in the mixture .
It's fair to say the flat run out was a soggy one and on arrival we split into two teams with 6 doing a spot of weight lifting bu erecting the shelter and the remainder bringing the soup and apple juice etc up to the bread oven area which is used to entertain the visitors on such occasions.
TIME FOR LUNCH
Ooh!! go on then!! the social edge to this extra group run was the promise to dry off and warm up with a spot of lunch and a refreshing drink before heading back to DRYARCH for the WASSAIL ceremony.
HAT TRICK THIS WEEKEND FOR GOODGYM BBC MICKEY 50 good deeds - black t STEPH 200 good deeds -bespoke t PAUL 300 good deeds -nothing !!
huge thanks to ALISON for designing the LADY BATH T-SHIRT and Paul for printing it off and providing some HAPPY SHOPPER !! Pink wafers ( have a word DAVE)
THE WASSAIL
Brilliant fun even though it poured down, we toasted the pear, apple and plum trees with some warming mulled cider and pretty toast to hang on the branches with ribbons whilst singing about SAP ARISING, youll need to watch the videos but Mr GREEN did a fabulous job entertaining the crowds old and young.
TOASTING WITH PASSING THE CUP and hanging TOAST on the Branches with Walcot singers doing what they do best, following Mr Green around the orchard.
The run back was WET but we made it back in good Apple spirits.
THANKS Goodgym Cardiff for the tipple fueled pun

Funny and fab report Steph. Thanks for your welcomeness! To the Bristol gang too. Has a fantastic if wet time which I'll always remember with a laugh. 😀
Well done BBC GG lot! Super soggy but glad we all woke those trees up to produce cake, cider and crumble.
Steph are you going to put the videos on the GoodGym Bath Facebook? I would quite like to show my friends what they missed out on by lounging around in bed all day avoiding the rain!
