This warm evening 8 GG Woking members braved the heat with a 10k run to Pyrford Primary School to remove some brambles. ☀️
We welcomed Frances from Goodgym Brighton who was in our lovely Town visiting family. We also welcomed Ben a friend of Frances who is thinking of joining us at Woking, 😄
Wayne ran from home to the school while the rest of the group met at Woking Leisure Centre. Lauren also joined us and cycled to the school. Once at the school we were kindly provided with a jug of water with some ginger nut biscuits along with a collection of tools ✂️.
The task looked very daunting and we though we would never finish it, but once we got going there was no looking back. With garden shears, rakes, we got busy cutting and pulling and screaming when being attacked by brambles 🌿. While working away we discovered that Ben was a landscape gardner which was very handy.
Wayne was moaning about his cut on the shin while James had opened up an old wound but it was all dealt with some antiseptic wipes. As we started seeing the fence that was behind the brambles we new we were getting there. It total we found 4 footballs ⚽️ and 2 tennis balls which we left in the playground.
Once the task was completed we finished off the water and the remaining biscuits had a good natter and everyone headed back.
Junior Park Run are still short of volunteers for this Sunday if anyone can help Please sign up. 🏃🏼♂️
