Rocking Around The Crop
1 GoodGymer made their way 2.3km to help the YMCA Allotment in Barnsley.

Our monthly run up to the YMCA allotment this time around was slightly different to our usual visits. Upon arriving at the allotment we found a large group of people sitting around and blasting out sing-a-long tunes beside a 'fire'. There wasn't much to be done with such a large crowd in the workspace and so it was suggested that we do a litterpick around the paths and roads bordering the other allotments so as not to disturb the gathering too much.
Luckily we had bags and gloves with us as it's always good practice to have a plan-b (plan-b being bin bags) in the bag for unforeseen circumstances. This being the case we set about making the area that much greener and less plasticky, with the dulcet ever-fading tones of campfire songs accompanying our pick from afar. We did a thorough clean up of the streets for the duration of the session before heading back to Glasshouse for an equally thorough stretch off.
What can go wrong next week? Come along and find out!
