An excellent evening after some heavy rain, GoodGymers took to the heath once more to pull bracken. We went to the same spot as last year and could see that the bracken had not grown back as strongly, so we got pulling.

A big space became clear and lots of heath was re-exposed, so much so that insects and dragonflies immediately swooped in as we were clearing to get to the nectar in the plants that were previously obscured.

Other highlights were a flying visit from GoodGymer Ian as he ran past our spot and seeing a hornet’s nest thriving in an dead tree, which made groundskeeper Will very happy to see.

5 of us (plus Leo the puppy) did a little tour around Norwich to clean some of the GoGoSafari trail, which is brilliantly organised by Break.

We gave the sculptures and the plaques a good clean, had a photo taken then moved on to the next one.

We'll be back again in August to do it again.

Fellow GoodGymmers Elizabeth, Tasha, Bill, Katy and I helped with marshalling the EPIC 5k in Aylsham, which had a fantastic turnout. The runners all passed by very quickly, including one of our own GoodGymmers, another Elizabeth.

Well done to the GoodGymers who helped cut and clear back at Catton Grove Community Centre.
