Fabulous progress in the Battle of the Bramble at Brunswick with Mark joining for his first visit.

Knowing his prowess with a saw at Ashton Court, he set to on a mahonia and buddleia to reduce the height and dragged his “clippings” to the growing pile of green waste for the gardeners to collect.

We also made progress on paths, de-butter cupping and chopping back some of the smaller tall grasses.

2026 is looking good in the cemetery!

Well we laid down our burden but not in the African-American spiritual song … instead, 6 full bags of litter collected by the three amigos from the grassy verges of the riverside. We had to leave a challenge for next time in the charred form of a burned out motorbike … brrrring it on …

3 GoodGymers deployed to the Leigh Woods side of the Avon River this morning clearing an admirable 6 bin liners of various flotsam and jetsam. An abundance of footballs lead to an impromptu kick / stick around. Nice work team!
