Well it turns out no GoodGymers had spare time over Christmas to take part in our challenge. Even Ruth - who came up with the idea - didn't manage to do it until Christmas was well and truly over.

But she still counted 10 Christmas wreaths in two miles. It made her wonder what actually happens to people who leave their decorations up after Twelfth Night. They're probably still tucking into the Ferrero Rocher.

While completing the task, which was a bit of a humdinger - walking down the hill to Oldfield Park and back up again - this trusty GoodGymer took the opportunity to deliver more leaflets raising awareness of Julian House's winter appeal.

She hopes the sight of a flyer landing on the doormats of a cold, frosty and snowy Bath might prompt residents to support a charity that helps the area's most vulnerable people.
