A group of GoodGymers helped out at Old Lakenham Community Orchard.

It was a brisk Sunday morning after a sharp frost, but it didn't stop lots of people turning out in Lakenham to help create thriving habitats for lizards.

We welcomed Danni who was taking part in her first GoodGym session.

There were also two other community groups helping at the task: Wild Lakenham and LTC.

The majority of people where cutting back brambles and other areas, while some others did a litter pick.

The morning was finished off with some lovely, well earned refreshments.

We had a last minute change of task but it still an amazing evening.

Thanks to Rose for coming up with the idea and Beks for accommodating us.

20 of us (plus some extra locals) visited Wild Lakenham to help clear and cut back an overgrown public pathway.

Eloise joined the rest of Wild Lakenham to help on the Orchard project, sorting out the newly laid hedging area, and pulling nettles under the tree to help them get a lovely grass orchard.

Tonight 12 GoodGymers & 1 dog ran 5km to help clean up the Lakenham Way.

When we arrived Bek handed us each litter pickers and bin liners, and directed us in pairs to the areas most in need of a tidy up.

Amongst the finds this week were a discarded umbrella, a bike tire and a used homework book!

After 45 mins we had filled 9 bin bags ready to be collected, before we made our way back to the Forum.

Shout out to Elizabeth who celebrated her big birthday with her 150th Parkrun last week, and also Alina who will be running her 200th Parkrun this weekend!

It was a very wet morning this morning, 4 good gymers attended the task making up the total numbers to 15 which is very impressive for such a wet day.

Our main goal was to cut back brambles and some other foliage with the aim of making space for the orchard in the Wild Lakenham area. We had to be quite spread out due to the tools we used but we were also ably assisted by at least 3 dogs who were breaking down twigs very well.

Rose and Bobby subbed each other out halfway through the taks so we didn't get a photo all together, but hopefully I can add to the few photos we have already later on.

Onwards and orchards.
