4 hardy GoodGymmers laughed in the face of the weather forecast and turned up at Fordlands Road for the first blooming brilliant balsam bashing bonanza of the season.

Emma came slightly underprepared with no long trousers or gloves (possibly Ed's fault for not stating they would be needed on the listing) but fortunately was able to borrow a pair of both and soon got cracking.

We made excellent progress alongside the lovely folk from Cleaner Greener Fulford and after an hour of bashing were suitably chuffed with our efforts

An excellent warm up to the forthcoming Balsam Bashin Group Run sessions
