Yet another soggy Tuesday but more brave GoodGymmers amassed to take on the leaf fall at Marlborough Hill with the beautiful murals.

We've been helping out the BID team since it was first painted, ironically we've been watering the new plants through the summer. No need for watering today!

It was great to be joined by Laura and Ed for their first good deed - it's honestly never normally that soggy!

We started with one rake and just four bags to move the mountain of leaves up the mountain of a hill to the compost area - Alice sensibly stayed at the bottom of the hill and amassed 4.2km and 37m of elevation whilst Vaguely Northern Darren had 5km and 146m of elevation - one and a half times as much elevation as Ashton Court parkrun.

Melanie set about finding more bags - Tesco Express was closed for a refurb but a lovely cleaner called Andrea was at the Eye Hospital and gave us a little roll of black bags that meant we had six extra very thin black bags to fill and transport leaves up the mountain. The twigs that we were separating from the leaves were soon re-purposed as "nature's broom" as if it were Hallowe'en.

The rain got heavier and heavier, as did the prose accompanying the atmospheric photos in the WhatsApp chat when we'd all got back into the warmth of Workout or home to dry off. Surely it cant be this wet again next week?
