Eggs-weed-ingly satisfying!

Newcastle Report written by Tanya Johnson

This morning was our third visit to Greenhill allotments to help prep Magrets plot.

We continued to work our way down the plot pulling up weed and clearing grass.

The weeds had taken over this section, with deep and chunky roots. Digging them up was very satisfying!

There’s still plenty to do here and I’m sure we will be back again.

Challenge axe-epted!

Newcastle Report written by Newcastle runner

It was a gorgeous day for our second visit to Magret’s plot and our link up with Newcastle Parks and Allotments. We made a start on clearing the plot a couple of weeks ago. Sadly there were already some weeds flourishing in the area we had cleared so we spent some time clearing that area, before moving on to the next section.

It seems like our memo about axes from a different task this week has filtered through and Aimee in particular was delighted to see the presence of an axe today! Max put it to good use, breaking up the ground, which seemed harder this time than last time, probably due to the warm sunshine we’ve had lately! Tanya, on the other hand, was less successful with the tools, choosing a spade with the diggy bit (that’s a technical term!) coming off the handle as soon as she tried digging!

There was a spell during the task when we felt like we weren’t getting anywhere, but then it all came together. You can definitely see that we made progress today! And it was lovely to be joined by some local wildlife, although we’re not sure how healthy the bee was! The cat, however, seemed very content basking in the sunshine!

There’s still a way to go though. Fortunately, we’re back again next Saturday. There’s rain forecast for this week so the ground should be a bit softer. We’d love to see you there!

WWF x GoodGym Newcastle: Greenhill Allotment Restoration

Clearing some ground will make it possible for the land to be cultivated and therefore provide food for an allotment tenant

Fog in the Bay

Newcastle Report written by Aimee (she/her)

Three GoodGymers volunteered at Whitley Bay junior parkrun on an incredibly foggy morning.

The sea was out there but none of us could see it! In fact we couldn't see each any other despite Tanya and Debbie being on neighbouring marshal positions on the promenade! I was on position one before helping over at the traffic lights to prevent children running into the road. 'What traffic lights?' we asked as we all stared into the dense fog in the direction where the road and the traffic lights should be.

137 four to fourteen year olds braved the fog to take part this week and we enjoyed cheering them on even if you weather wasn't as sunny as yesterday!
