Our lovely sunny group run took us to Slades Farm, a community garden nestled around the back of Bournemouth University. We welcomed back Pia, really happy we didn't scare you away! And it was great to have Soren with us, hopefully for a couple of weeks whilst he is down in Bournemouth for a few more weeks with work. Dan brought Hae along and the route wasn't great for them. Next week is shorter and so is the group run the following week, please come back again then!!!

It was just under 4km there in the end and the route was predominantly uphill...which isn't ideal as it was really warm and muggy, despite sticking to shaded roads covered by beautiful trees! When we arrived Theresa was on hand and ready to put us straight to work. The vegetable patch was in desperate need of watering so Tom, Miffy, Laura and Soren filled water containers and lugged them with a wheelbarrow to then fill up watering cans to then water the patches. They were even treated to some flowers and leaves!!!

The rest of the gang were on bramble cutting duties...and tick patrol....everyone got stuck in and were really eager until Pia came across an unwanted guest...luckily she spotted it and Andrew was on hand to offer his credit card, Pia swiftly and safely removed the little critter!! Make sure you all check your bodies please!!

The run home was a lot nicer as the temperature had dropped and most of the route was downhill. Nice to see Caprice, Neil, Soren and Laura push the last bit backk to base, a mean hill with some nasty steps to finish you off!

Well done everyone, a great turnout and lots of friendly faces. Next week we're just around the corner either at Body Positive or Hope Housing. Will confirm over the next week!

Have a great rest of the week!! And enjoy your dinner tomorrow evening...not jealous at all!!!

Last time we were scheduled to visit Slades Farm we had to call it off as it had been just too wet. Well this morning in Bournemouth the weather was terrible once more! However, the good deed gods were watching over us today. By the afternoon the rain had cleared the glorious sunshine was out to entice us back out again.

There were ten of us this evening, ready to brave a longer run than usual.

It was great to have Mark join us for his first group run. And great for Sarah to invite him along!! Although Poole will be closer once it does launch..we're happy to look after you!!! Please come back, it was great to meet you!

We arrived right on time and Theresa was waiting for us and quickly put us to task. Mark, Laura and Miffy quickly set about digging up some grass to make an area for them to plant some Comfry. Which would then be used to fertilize the compost.

Millie set about using her girl guide skills to put a point into some stakes which Neil then hammered into the ground with his arms..which weren't sore at all....

Daryl and Lee were in charge of digging up unwanted saplings.

Sarah and Beth water joined later by Neil and were on the hunt for young willow trees to cut down to be woven into a live hedge to encase the compost heap. Bit of a challenge to identify willow from birch, brown birch and silver birch! Reckon Beth was the best at it!

And all this in half an hour! We even managed to break one spade....and then help put back all the tools too!

We hope to go back again very soon!!

Very cool to have Neil showing off his new black GoodGym T-shirt!! I want one!!!!

Well done everyone!! Hard run but you guys did great!!!!

See you next week!!
