Hedge-ing Our Bets
7 GoodGymers made their way 1.7km to help the Royal Mencap Society - 145 Kingsley Road in Portsmouth.
- Wednesday, 5th of July 2023

Despite a day of dark clouds and scattered showers, we managed to avoid the rain for our Group Run this evening.
Special thanks to the team at Mencap for accepting us at such short notice this evening, and for providing plenty of refreshments!
Ellie, Dave and Jane tackled the hedges with loppers and secateurs, and Dave even brandished a strimmer at one point. Katie, Angela and Maura did some back-breaking ground-level weeding which made a huge difference to the paving area and small flower beds. We did try out a few back stretches and yoga moves to alleviate some of the aches at the end.
My sincere apologies for all the photos of people's butts today. Ellie has definitely provided the more artistic shots!
