The bank holiday got off to a good start as 4 goodgymers gathered to help out at The Lost Plot (thankfully we found it!). We warmed-up to prepare for a longer route around Woodhouse Moor, enjoying the evening sunshine, and made our way to the allotments. As we arrived , we made sure that we reached 2 km (you can't stop at 1.9km!)
Weeds have shot up over the last few weeks, so help from Goodgym was needed to stop them from getting out of control. We enjoyed being able to see - last time we were here we were in the dark - and enjoy looking at the progress that has been made since we were here last. We met our host Alex and her dog , Ferris, and were given our implements to start pulling out the weeds. Ferris wasn't much help , but who can blame him when it's his day off...
Prize for most dedicated goes to Helen - she didn't want to stop, even after being stung by some pesky nettles.
We finished off with a trip to Hyde Park Book Club, to raise a drink to the long weekend. Enjoy, everyone!
