What makes a perfect mix? I think we may have hit the nail on the head today at Goodgym Bath our ingredients for today's task for Bath Organic group. we took Four Fabulous people (of course I'm one of them) on a 4k run. Include into that mix A WHOLE LOTTA APPLES that have fallen from the tree, add a SCRUTTER and a PRESS, some elbow grease may be required and
hey presto
You've got a good thing going and an even better thing in the making.
Great to have Matt and David across from Goodgym Bristol alongside our very own Jaxx.
Luckily today's run involved nothing too challenging, which was probably a good thing considering Mad Matt has just got back from his Matterhorn ultra but in true fashion he still cycled across to Bath before doing Parkrun this morning... Hence the word Mad! David seemed to have taken a shine to that rather nice race Shirt, so watch your back Matt😬
Tim and his team were there to welcome us and demonstrate the art of Apple pressing. We gathered the fallen fruits and gave them a good wash before Jaxx and David roughly chopped them before handing them across to Matt for
Scrutting twice

Time up
In true Goodgym style we didn't leave with empty hands but gifts of fresh apple juice and a bag of plumbs. it's safe to say I will certainly be waiting a week before sampling mine.
Such a lovely place hidden away with an abundance of organic fruit and veg.
Thanks to Jaxx for back marking and Matt for today's pun.
Bath Organic Group, or BOG, was set up in 1986 to promote sustainable, local food production and organic gardening in and around Bath.
