Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Sheffield runner
2 GoodGymers interval trained nearly 4 miles across Sheffield to get to Mr B. After a technology fail meant we lost the address 3/4 into the run, a quick decision was made to double back. But luckily the Goodgym Gods blessed us with a bit of charge, plus a friendly postman lent us his pen to pop down the address, and we were back on track, arriving 1 min behind schedule.
Bright Mr B welcomed us in and showed us the task. Wild weeds had whirled their way in and wound around his garden (mainly brambles, stinging nettles and ivy).
Provided with a spade, 3 bin liners and some scissors, and using our thick gloves today we have achieved:
- pulling up and filling 2 big bin liners with garden waste, picking up and filling 1 big bin liner full of rubbish (to Mr B's dismay no gold was found unfortunately)
- clearing the weeds near Mr B's house, digging the soil over
- pulling up twenty-two year old tangled carpet in our time team adventure
- uncovering the garden path - Mr B had forgotten he had one
After 1 hour and 45 mins of clearing we completed our mission with a cup of coffee and a chat with Mr B before interval training our way back home, 3.2 miles this time. With another technology fail at the task, we were unable to take a full set of after photos, so we have drawn an after plan diagram instead :)
