Sarah, Stuart and I came to the start location straight after the community mission at West Bank Park. Joined by Mitch, who was on a borrow waders mission earlier, we went straight to the warm up.

Legs, arms and the heart rate ready we started running. Exercise aside this was a great opportunity to chat about things GoodGym, cold showers, ramblers group, long distance running to name just a few. We were rewarded with a beautiful sunset and ran the entire perimeter of Hob Moor - that is just over 2.6km. Stuart wanted to skip the end of session stretch, as he had few more kilometers running ahead of him to get back home in Fulford. However I did not let him go and all four of us had a pleasure of touching the floor with both elbows amongst other movements to stretch after our run. Feeling refreshed everyone headed back home. Until the next time guys!

8 GG Yorkies met in the park to commence part 2 of the great digventure.

Before we got to work, we welcomed Liz to her first task - give her a big cheer! 📣 The task itself was to continue digging roots out from a previously nettled verge of the picnic area to prepare it for some pollinating wild flowers.

There was some initial reluctance to use any of the many mattocks we'd been provided with and most opted for spades and forks. However, those brave enough to give them a try were soon mattock converts.

Where the previous group had opted for quantity over quality, this time we were encouraged to dig deeper to get as many of the roots (and butter knives) out of the ground as we could.

In the space of an hour, we made great progress and were ready to hand the land over to another group of GG Yorkies who are booked to finish the task later in the week.
