We tree to think up puns so funny you wood not believe it! Too acorn-y?!
14 GoodGymers made their way 4.5km to help the Friends of Everton Park in Liverpool.
- Monday, 3rd of September 2018
- Led by Char Binns
Our fit 14 ran just under 5km, tackling steps and hills, and cutting back a load of trees with Friends of Everton Park.
We always love working with the Friends of Everton Park, it is a nice little run to the park and the tasks are always interesting and worthwhile. Tonight was no except and after a little while spent trying to find them (oh it was those steps we're meeting at!) FOEP members John and Tony were there to greet us with tools, water and big smiles.
Our task was to cut back rogue saplings and other large weeds, and the team got stuck in straight away. We managed to cover a large section of the area, working hard with clippers and even a small saw (who let Tony have that saw!?!).
Shout outs go to three newbies Rebecca, Abi and Emma who all did a brilliant job and are so very welcome to join us again soon.
An extra shout out goes to Pauline who completed her 25 good deed yesterday (making today number 26). She's an inspiration to us all!
As usual, Friends of Everton Park were impressed with the work we did ("Great stuff again") and everyone left happy. I treated the runners to a quick fitness session on the way back, tackling 46 steps and then a short sharp hill. But the reward of seeing the sky glowing orange as the sun set over the city made it all worthwhile. What a fab view!
Well done to everyone for a top effort and a good running pace as well.
Next week we're tidying up the Baltic Triangle. So grab your gloves and sign-up here.
