Some were more tyre-d than others!
12 GoodGymers made their way 5km to help the Holyport Football Club in Windsor and Maidenhead.

- Led by Windsor and Maidenhead runner
Last night 11 GoodGymmers assembled at the Maidenhead Community Centre for our usually #wednesdaynightisgoodgymnight group run. The walkers set off for the 2km shortly followed by the 4 runners after they’d completed a quick warm up. Angela and Gillian led the run whilst Sophie and Kelley covered the back and soon the runners had arrived at Holyport FC where task owner and GoodGym member Louise was waiting for us. Soon after arriving we heard some twit-too’ing in the trees and swiftly realised we may need to come up with a wh-owl load of puns! But that didn’t ruffle our feathers in the pitch black night and off we set down the pothole covered driveway to gather our tools. Shortly we noticed an array of lights heading our way – it was either an army of very large fireflies or the walkers had arrived! The task was to shovel the shingle into the potholes – one we have become very familiar with! We all set to work armed with shovels, forks and wheelbarrows but one of the barrows was considerably harder to manoeuvre due to a flat tyre. We took it in turns to share the load with the dodgy barrow! After around 45 minute of hard graft the walkers and runners both set off back to the community centre and said our goodbyes , until the next adventure!
