Bath Report written by Emily Medd
Five Good Gym-ers in red t-shirts, and a few hundred angry ants also wearing red met up at the Dry Arch, Middle Ground Growers this weekend to clear weeds, slugs and earth around promising new tree saplings in the Tree Nursery buried at the very back of the community allotment.
Emily K, Meyrick, Art, Holly, myself and Zoe from the More Trees BANES charity gloved up and crawled on hands and knees in between the trees to remove (a specific type of weed I have clean forgotten) pesky overgrowth that was putting the new saplings future at risk! Very dramatic.
A lovely morning up a windy hill, with an equally lovely view over Bath, definitely worth a visit!

Bath Report written by Emily Kitson
Not put off by the ter-rain, 8 GoodGymers (Meyrick, Mary, Aaron, Emily K, Emily M, Jamie, Laura and Richard) braved the elements and rocked up at Claverton pumping station one wet Saturday morning.
Here we were met by two of the station volunteers, who explained our task of moving stones to fill in some steps, which will form part of a footpath joining the canal towpath with the pumping station below.
Down next to the ter-rain tracks, were several sacks of solidified soil/stones, which needed breaking up first. So we set to work, reminiscent of scenes from the Shawshank redemption, using mattocks and spades. We then shovelled stones into wheelbarrows, taking turns to wheel uphill to the steps.
In the process, we uncovered some of the local wildlife, which we carefully moved to safety.
Some of us also headed further down the hill to pick up more stones, to be used as the top layer.
As we finished up, the showers eased off and we were kindly treated to a much needed cup of tea, followed by a fascinating guided tour of the pumping station museum, by one of the knowledgeable volunteers.
Thanks everyone and welcome to Bath, Laura!

Great to see you getting stuck into GoodGym in your new home Laura! We miss you in Windsor and Maidenhead. This task looks like it was a really good workout in a cool location!
