4 GG Yorkies met at York St John Hockey pitch to pick up some wheelbarrows and shovels. Meanwhile, one GG Yorkie (Ed) and a dog rode around the general area, searching for the meeting location and learning a lesson to always read the task description rather than relying on the postcode given on the task listing... ๐Ÿ˜‚

Our task for today was to spread some woodchip on the muddy Foss-side footpaths of the fairy trail.

With the group finally assembled, the four GG ladies headed to our woodchip mountain to fill our barrows. Then we wheeled them a really long way down the path to find and cover up the muddy bits. Meanwhile, Ed was commandeered by the fairy trail ladies to help them fix their new information board into the ground, and for some bonus log sawing. ๐Ÿชต๐Ÿชš.

After an hour, we'd got through half the woodchip pile and covered up the worst of the mud - much to the delight of the thankful dog walkers passing ๐Ÿ™‚
