There were so many of us this evening, we had to take turns doing good! In-between, we were shown around the facilities of the Adventure Playground by the kids. Lots of fun was had on the zip-line, tire swing, slide and cargo net.

We got stuck in with digging initially, then we got to crack out the big guns. A sledgehammer and a crow-bar came in very handy, and we got to witness Liz go wild with an axel grinder!

By the end of the session, we had destroyed the boat carcass, moved the remains to a bonfire pile ready for a viking burial, then even dug up some breeze blocks buried deep under the ground.

First off, massive kudos to Andy, who got his GG Wings tonight, completing his 100th Good Deed!

After a brief period of being lost, Katie asked for directions to the Adventure Playground from some local kids, and it turned out they were heading there too! We then had to up our jog to a bit of a sprint to keep up with them.

The kids were very keen to lend a hand, and got on with digging after our team had broken up some soil. I had the very important job of "bag holder", which then escalated to "child labour coordinator" to ensure everyone who wanted a turn got a chance with a shovel.

Andy (jokingly) asked if he could have a turn on the zipline, which lead to quite a few of us having a go. It was a fair bit higher than expected, and a lot faster!

Amazingly, in just an hour, we'd practically emptied the compost and soil from the pirate ship, so we'll be back next week with crowbars to tear down the carcass that remains.

Stamshaw Adventure Playground is a tardis - so much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside - and so many opportunities for adventures!

We weeded, pruned, lopped and tidied - and all in the beautiful January sunshine.

There will be plenty of further opportunities for us to help out here again.
