The seat goes on...
6 GoodGymers made their way 6.0km to help the StarGarAllot Community Garden in Cardiff.

A return to our friends at StarGarAllot community allotments this week, one of our slightly longer runs so we had some walkers meeting there, cyclists as well as the usual runners from the City.
It was a lovely evening for a run, and time for a nice chat as we made our way to the task. We picked up some people on the way who wanted a shorter run and then met everyone else outside the gate for the task. We were met at the gate by the task organiser, Camilla, who then walked us around the site explaining what needed doing this evening. Our tasks were;
- To move a large bench from the shed to a new position that had been cleared in the shade.
- To clear the area under the bench just moved
- To put a picnic bench in the area we cleared so more volunteers could sit for lunch.
- To clear a rather large grass, which was in the way of a pathway
- To move another bench to an area overlooking the trees and potentially a nice sunset.
It as going to be some good lifting and exercise tonight, so plenty of team work going on. The grass turned out to be the most difficult of tasks as four of us with forks still struggled to lift it - sweat and grunts and it finally gave in as we dragged it away to the compost heap.
Some apple juice, a few grapes and bananas and it was time to leave. We will be returning next week to get on with some actual gardening, so get signed up here and we will see you there.
