How did you spend your Saturday morning? Catching up on chores? Doing the shopping? Having a lie-in? Well GoodGym Bath destroyed a shed that was blighting a local school and it felt good.

This was our second visit to Newbridge Primary School - last time we filled a skip with a shed and a load of concrete blocks that were part of the old playground. This time we did the same - without the blocks.

The grounds are huge - no wonder the caretaker needed some GoodGym assistance in keeping it safe and tidy.

It also meant we got our steps in - we walked one and a half miles pushing wheelbarrows loaded with wood and stuff between the shed and the skip.

Did I mention it felt good? Turns out smashing up a shed is extremely therapeutic. That, coupled with a trip to a nearby café, made for shedloads of fun.

Six good gymers, including myself helped improve a derelict and unkept place. Strength, was shown through heavy lifting of heavy stone. A shed was dismantled and a brilliantly full skip was the after effect of our hard work. Many, pleasantries were exchanged and it was a rewarding enhancement of the area worked in. Good work everyone.

It is a bright time for the GoodGymmers. Although the Death Star has been destroyed, Imperial troops have driven the Rebel forces from their hidden base and pursued them across the galaxy.

Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighters led by Meyrick have established a new secret base on the remote ice world of The George at Bathampton.

The evil lord Darth Vader, obsessed with finding the young GoodGymmers - Aaron, Tanya, Emily and Vicky, has dispatched thousands of remote probes into the far reaches of space....

That being said, it was wonderfully successful ride on Sunday despite the unsettled weather. Starting at checkpoint 1, on the river opposite Lidl, zero GoodGymmers were picked up but many rebel forces were repelled. Checkpoint two was much the same, no GoodGymmers at this checkpoint but several AT-ATs were disabled before moving on to Checkpoint 3.

Here, at The George in Bathampton, the rest of the GoodGymmers gathered to embark on the rest of the journey. There was one complication to the plan, in that we were planning to meet General Helen at Bathampton Mill at one. However, Lieutent Emily was confident we could still do the Two Tunnels and rendezvous with our erstwhile leader at the appointed time.

X - Wing pilot Vicky suggested we make a detour after the tunnels to speed up our return journey, and with that agreed we had our plan!

It was a wonderful ride, great countryside, the odd puddle and the excitement of cycling high speed through the two tunnels to boot. We did make our engagement on time, and avoided all of those pesky remote probes send by Darth Vader - so the plan was a good one. Next time, Episode VI - The Return of the Cycles.

Bath City Farm is one of our favourite missions without a doubt, with plenty of adventure to be had for all. This Saturday, five eager GoodGymmers headed off to add additional pages to the story of our contribution there. Welcome to newcomers Katrin and Matt, to whom Meyrick warned them that 90% of the time, a GoodGym mission at Bath City Farm involves manure.

We were joined shortly thereafter by Jane, who additional offered similar manure warnings, as did Stephen when he arrived; piling on the manure expectations.

You can imagine our surprise when were were told by our host for the day, Helen, that this occasion was in the 10% of tasks that are non-manure related. I feel there may have been some disappointment in the ranks at this news but Helen did suggest that if wanted manure, she was sure she could find something for us. We demurred.

The task she did have for us was clearing a patch opposite the mini horses and next to the chickens. There was a rather overgrown area that needed to be made more presentable, and cleared of unwanted plants and weeds. I believe the fundamentalist wing of the 'Horse & Chickens Deserve Better Views' had been lobbying the Bath City Farm Parliament for this with clucks and neighs.

There was a lot to do, but we are GOODGYM and we work quick. It was fairly routine with nothing to report, (after all, what happens at Bath City Farm stays at Bath City Farm), but there were some incidents with the Burdock....

We completed the mission, job done. Hopefully this will reduce the clucking and the neighs from those chickens and mini-horses, and allow the ducks to raise their voices, as I know they have a bill to pass...
