Swinging into action

Wednesday 21st May

Written by Laura

The Leeds gang had a great night at Bedford Fields yesterday.

We ran up via the ridge & did some leafleting (see the separate report) & then headed to Bedford Fields to clear a path of lots of sticks and brambles, while another group cleared the public path. A few of us managed a break to play on the swing which is hidden at the top of the garden (it's not all hard work).

Super Helen had to her wear her cape & mask to celebrate a whopping 202 good deeds...what a hero!! Well done Helen!

Jubz then took a group to the pub to see Man United get beat... while the rest of us took a slow run back to Heart.

Welcome to Rachel & Clarice, we hope to see you again soon.

The Great British Rake Off

Wednesday 16th April

Written by Laura

It was great to have such a big group tonight, with 15 GoodGymers running up to Bedford Fields to do various jobs. It wouldn't be Bedford Fields without a wood chip workout, so we wood chipped all the paths, cleared and chopped up debris, sieved soil & Jubz dug a big hole to lay a pipe and then filled it all back in.

Welcome to newcomers Annie & Laura & welcome back to Kawan who last joined us in 2020 (thanks for the bike ride)!

Thanks all & great work everyone.

Chip Happens

Saturday 15th March

Written by Laura

This morning, 2 GoodGymers swapped tales of sailing and paddle boarding whilst filling wheel barrows full of wood chip and taking it down to Coffee on the Crescent. We raked it out underneath the benches ready for spring/summer. It was really nice to chat to and get to know Lloyd more :) see you paddle boarding soon!

Twisted firestarter

Saturday 1st March

Written by Helen Noyes

A beautiful sunny task at Bedford Fields must be the reward for all the cold, dark evenings we have endured here over the winter. We were tasked with digging a wide border for future terracing to stop the soil migrating onto the footpath. Jubz was co-opted by Beth to collect firewood from the old dead hedge and use this to light the firepit. This played to his strengths as a self-confessed arsonist...

If you can't stand the heat...

Wednesday 22nd January

Written by Laura

...then get out of the kitchen!

Last night we ran 2.5K from Heart & headed up to Bedford Fields where we met Beth who tasked us with various jobs. The group got to work clearing paths, digging and continuing to help build the kitchen in the cabin.

It was a cold night but the 2.5K run back helped warm us up again.

Welcome to newcomers Sarah & Jin and welcome back to Megan. We hope to see you again soon.
