6 GoodGymers ran to our local nature reserve Coldfall Woods to meet up with Ann from the Friends of Coldfall Woods. The recent winds had blown a lot of branches down, and with the summer heat there was a danger of fires from illegal barbeques. We were put to task in teams collecting branches and piling them onto designated areas to protect trees from being trampled around, and provide a nice habitat for insects and small rodents. We also found some rather unusual stinkhorn mushrooms growing, happily not yet at their stinkiest. We swiftly got stuck in to our stick-picking and made some satisfying piles.
But the big news of the night was that by joining this task (and gathering up litter on the way) Jacqueline had done 100 Good Gym deeds! What an achievement, and definitely worthy of that angel wings red t-shirt. No sticky wicket for her - that's a century! We all ran back and celebrated at the Phoenix cinema with some well earned hot drinks.
