We arrived at the Riverside Buildings to be welcomed by Viv from Uthink PDP. An arts charity who believe in making art an effective tool to support community development. We were given some paint and brushes and went up to the forth floor. After being shown the graffiti covered wall, we set to work repainting. It didn’t take long for the 4 of us to cover the graffiti. The other 4 of us helped paint the other walls and peeled black stickers off the windows.

After cleaning up, we picked up some leaflets on our way out for the Hammersmith and Fulham Arts Festival that they’re partnering with in June.

A short run 1.5 k run in Bath for 12 fabulously fit and funky people. This evenings task took a slight turn but in a good direction to Parade Gardens, a truly beautiful Park and a focal point for Baths many tourists situated next to Pultney Weir and the task itself to paint between the stone columns.

Big Shout Out to the Two Claire's

joining us for their first taste of Goodgym Bath. I do hope both enjoyed themselves, I know we loved having them along tonight.

Second Shout out to Mary

She's completed 6 Good deeds and ran a whopping 103k so far this month, whilst training for her first marathon.

The group opted for the short rather than shortest route out this evening but only as long as they could enjoy the shortest of the routes back after the task.

Paint !! We love to paint

Brushes, tiny rollers and paint at the ready and everyone to took great care painting inside the archways and making sure not to get any paint on the Bath Stone columns. We soon had it licked as far as we could reach, Super Steve and Sam cutting a fine line at the top.. Well done guys!!

Lights camera action from Lydia, squatting and shining our swanky floodlights.

We managed to get all three panels done and even had time for a selection of group photos.

Didn't They Do Well

The route back was the shortest of the short but it made a nice change from our normal hilly locations and gave us opportunity to enjoy some Goodgym banter.

An AWESOME BUNCH, I think you'd agree. Though they did try to zip me shut in my protective paper suit.

A fabulous 15 this evening at Goodgym Bath for a 5k run to the community allotments at the foot of The Two Tunnels on Lyncombe road.

Whoop!! and Welcome to Leanne from Goodgym York

joining us fresh from racing the train at the weekend before heading for a well deserved break in Devon

Well Done to everyone who raced at the weekend Two Tunnels series from 10k to 50k some great achievements... Feel proud!!

Time to hit the road and head towards a wee hill and the job at hand tonight

TWO TASKS to cut back the over hanging hedge and hazel from the young fruit trees and lay some chicken wire over a slippery wooden bridge accessing the allotments along a shared pathway.

The route out involved a rather enjoyable leg burning hill or two, although the first was considered a warm up for the second one and i really do believe they enjoyed every moment.

The Task itself

LOPPERS and SECATEURS pairing up to form the hedge trimmers with Ed on saw duty on a fallen tree and had a later use as a cuttings battling ram. Emma,Tim and Sam getting to grips with that slippery bridge with some chicken wire and a staple gun.

40 MINUTES LATER

Job done!! one well pruned hedge stretching along a narrow footpath with a mad dash at the end to create a wildlife haven with the cuttings and one very safe bridge to cross with our very own

QUEEN MARY

to officially cut the twig and open the bridge to the public. This was suitably topped off with some delicious raspberry tasting before the short run back to base.

Double thanks to Alison for back marking and for tonights pun.
