…edged, shovelled, and cleared.

Five GoodGymers (and Andrew) set out to work their magic (ably assisted, of course, by Mike & Maddie from Urban Green 😊) to transform the Jesmond Dene parkrun route.

Two hours of back breaking work and a large stretch of the route was suddenly at least a couple of feet wider.

Impressed? You should be as 3 of us had done the “all uphill for the first half of the route” parkrun first. Kudos to Phil, Deb and Tanya - what a trio!

And hats off to Seb and myself for patiently listening to the retelling of every gruelling step 😊😊! (Only joking Phil, Deb & Tanya – we were both seriously impressed and somewhat in awe.)

Congrats to everyone for great team work this morning – we achieved more than Mike & Maddie thought possible – and any resemblance to a criminal chain gang (see the photos) was purely accidental!
