Ipswich Report written by Alan Bowley
On a muggy and sticky evening the intrepid Ipswich GG gang got down to work lifting and shifting logs at Brickmakers Wood.
Team Sycamore and Team Elm (we had two large piles of logs to move) pulled on their gloves and grabbed a wheelbarrow each to begin a sweaty 60 minutes of piling high.
New faces Alex and hardcore regulars created a human chain, as wave after wave of wheelbarrows climbed the dizzy heights of 75m total elevation and 2 miles of barrow pushing. It's on Strava so it happened!
Site manager, Jo Brooks, was delighted to see us back, knowing her wood piles were soon to be restored, as the Trust continues to transform a quiet corner of Ipswich into a calm, and tranquil oasis for cancer patients and their families.
We will back soon to see if we can improve on our team performance stats.
Well done everyone.

What better way to get back into Community Missions in Ipswich than to push wheelbarrows, full of chopped logs up a short hill - hill sprints, strength work and good deeds all combined into a fun hour.
Ipswich GoodGym-ers returned to help out at the Eden Rose Coppice Trust, on a bright and sunny Monday evening in Brickmakers Wood.
So with teamwork at the fore our task was simple - transport two large piles of logs from the warehouse shed up a small incline so that the charity trustees could continue to build a garden for cancer patients and their families to enjoy the calm and tranquility of this urban oasis.
It didn't take long for our members to find a rhythm of loading, rolling and stacking the logs and we surpised ourselves in how quickly we made a dent in the two piles of logs.
New member Ayrden](/runners/ayrden-jackson) drew the short straw, or in this case, the larger logs and helped create new seating around the pond area.
In no time at all 2 tonnes (we may have exaggerated for effect) where lifted and shifted - leaving just a little bit of sweeping to collect the kindling.
With a job well done we then set off on an easy pace 5K run around town and carried on the chatter about future group runs, and race days to come.
