Weed'id it
3 GoodGymers made their way 3.0km to help the YMCA Allotment and YMCA Barnsley in Barnsley.
- Wednesday, 4th of December 2019
- Led by Rachael (GoodGym Barnsley)
3 runners met up to help the YMCA with tidying up their allotment.
It was a brisk but clear and dry evening for the GoodGym Barnsley crew, where 3 of our runners met up to exercise those green fingers at the YMCA Allotment.
Our first challenge of the evening was actually getting into the lock-up to reach the tools. The 3 of us eventually managed to figure out how to get the padlock off, so thankfully we were able to access the tools. It would have been a slow evening picking up leaves by hand otherwise.
There were a variety of tasks for us to be getting on with, so we armed ourselves with hand shovels and sweeping brushes and set about:
- 🌱 weeding the paths;
- 🍁 sweeping up the leaves;
- 🍏 collecting all the fallen apples;
- 🗑️ and tidying everything away.
Our last challenge of the evening was remembering how to get the padlock back onto the lockup... Lessons were learned.
Next week, we'll be helping to sort donations for The Rucksack Project. Sign up here!
