Despite the grey weather 6 of us summited the hill to Urban Escape and Lisa put us to work weeding and wheelbarrowing.
Chris and Vicky, who are practically wheelbarrow pros by now, shifted barrows full of bark into the poly tunnel while the rest of us weeded the paths which have been slightly lost thanks to some overgrown weeds and stubborn grass.
We finished up just in time for the rain and for Tim to dig up some garlic to keep vampires away on the ride home. Until next time!
This task supported
Urban Escape is based at the roundhouse and acre growing space at Springfield Allotments in Knowle and aims to reconnect young people and adults with nature, create lasting relationships and supporting local people on their journey through life. The project utilises a wide variety of outdoor activities, life skills and group work as the tool to engage the groups and build relationships. Hands on and creative activities throughout the year include bush craft, growing, foraging and cooking fresh food, natural arts and crafts, community engagement and social action projects. The Junior, Senior and Adult groups take ownership of their projects by choosing activities and trips at different points through the year. All three groups have a maximum of 10 young people/adults at any one time because of the tools and activities used for the sessions. http://www.youthmoves.org.uk/urban-escape
