Today 9 members of team Brompton took part in their first GoodGym session as part of their new starter immersion in the company - it was a pleasure to spend a morning with them doing good and getting outside on our bikes!

Despite it being mid October the weather gods were on our side and we had a lovely mild morning outside. We kicked things off with a brief explanation as to what we’d be doing with our morning and quick chat all about GoodGym before we headed off to visit Horsenden Farm to help with lots of different important jobs across the site. The route to the farm is a lovely one along the canal so we started with a couple of mile cycle down to get started.

There was lots to be done today so we quickly divided ourselves up into teams and got stuck in.

• The derelict house on the site had lots of heavy lifting and shifting to be done inside and one team took on the task of helping to move everyone out - a great workout!
• Another team collected lots of cut down pine branches and stacked them up into hedge rows
• A strong team of two relocated some oak panels
• And we all finished up by weeding, watering and tucking in the fruit trees with local wool in the orchard to protect them for the coming colder months

We also had time for a quick walk along the trails up to the summit of Horsenden Hill!

Excellent team work from everyone involved today!
