What a great weekend the GoodGym Leeds crew just had!
We headed up to near Appletreewick in the Yorkshire Dale's for a night of camping.
Camping & Clueless: My lack of camping skills were on full display & along with a borrowed, very sad looking tent, we set up our pitch. Adam & Eva were the heroes of the hour as they'd luckily brought a spare that Alice and I could use. Thanks so much guys! We were warm & dry which somehow I doubt we would have been in the other one.
We then headed off for a 5 hour hike around the beautiful dales, the highlight being the waterfall at the Valley of Desolation, some ducklings & the Yorkshire Dales ice cream. Jason managed to get a squelchy boot but luckily we had no other incidents!
We then headed back for some food in Addingham and a camp fire with roasted marshmallows in the evening.
The next morning we packed up (I made a mess of that too) & headed for breakfast before setting off home. Thanks to Jason for his tea/coffee set up in the morning.
Thanks so much to Jubz for his organisation skills & his very thorough spreadsheet & for bringing the fire. You did a great job. And to Katie Lees for her map reading on the walk & to everyone else for their help during Tent Gate!!
Welcome back to Eva, it was great to have you along for the weekend :)
Helen was the superhero, cycling to & from the campsite and just casually throwing in an 8 mile run on Sunday morning for good measure! We're all in awe if you!
Thanks all, until next year...

Tonight we went back to St Stephen's Church Hall to get more of their overgrown garden cleared. We cleared many many prickly plants....how exactly do prickles get on the inside of your gardening gloves?! We got stuck in and cleared a large area, improving what we did last week. It's now ready for planting. Well done team!

4 GoodGymers supported the Kirkstall Valley Development Trust and headed to the St Stephens Church Garden in Kirkstall to help clear up the weeds. We weeded, clipped, and dug up as much as we could. It's fair to say it's definitely a work in progress! We'll go back in a few weeks to finish off.
Well done team 👏

Eva earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Eva completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Eva was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Eva has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Eva is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

6 of us from GoodGym Leeds headed down to Hyde Park Source tonight to clip hedges & litter pick.
It was great to have two newcomers join us. The weather was perfect & we got 5 bags full of litter & the hedges looked much neater.
Good work everyone!
