It was the final night of the January Challenge and 20 of us gathered at St Nicks, that was everyone except Craig, who was super busy supporting his wife Charlotte who was giving birth to the tiny lady Indigo.. massive congrats to them!

Let's also give Roger a big cheer, who came along for his first ever good deed.

We split into two teams with one team digging holes and one team venturing into the wood to dig up trees for transplanting. St Nick's is losing a small patch of the reserve and this project is all about relocating the trees to save resources.

Turns out the gravelly holes were hard to dig AND the trees were bigger and rootier than expected so we had to quickly make them bigger and join pairs of holes together to create more of a trench.

With all the trees in, we had one final task to move a giant, heavy sleeper which would make the fourth and final side of a woodland nursery bed.

Then we celebrated doing over 800 good deeds this month and the arrival of Indigo with a campfire expertly made by Maria and a few toasted marshmallows.

On GG York's 2nd birthday, a big crew rocked up to run, get fit, dig clay and celebrate!

We were joined by two brand new runners, so let's give some big ol' Yorkie cheers to Amy and Savannah. Also worth a cheer, team Beningbrough who collectively clocked something like 240km yesterday for the January Challenge, nice one.

Extraordinary Ed ran his 22nd good deed in 21 days and also got to wear the Cape of Good Deeds as he did his 50th on Friday, whilst Jolly Jenna was running her 50th tonight, and got to wear the cape on the way back. Make sure you give them both some cheers too, 50 good deeds is a brilliant achievement.

After a bunched up warm up (even a car park isn't enough space for us), we headed off for Heworth Holme - where our task was to dig up lots of lovely clay, bag it in heavy duty blue rubble bags and carry it a couple of hundred metres to the end of the path. The clay is to be used to create a new wetlands area at St Nick's Nature Reserve.

The hardest part of the task was figuring out what was soil and what was clay. The clay was much firmer than the soil and could be dug out in blocks. Some people were poking it to see if it felt clay-like whilst others just dug massive holes and took whatever was deepest.

It didn't take very long for us to fill every single bag (around 40), so with a bit of time to spare, we kept digging more holes to make 'wildlife scrapes', which are temporary ponds for wetland wildlife.

After the task we ran over to our favourite birthday workout spot, Morrisons Tower. We had a speedy mini circuit session including all of these treats:

• walking lunges
• sprint circuit
• sit squats
• press ups
• tricep dips
• single leg sits
• mountain climbers

Love the lunges, it's a bit like stretching! (new member Savannah, already my favourite)

We ran back, enjoying the climb of Micklegate Cobbles and then celebrated our birthday with a beautiful bit of cake made by Vicky.

If you want to join us tomorrow to empty out all those bags of clay and get mucky compressing them into the base of a pond - you can sign up here.

17 GG Yorkies and 1 Digby ran to St Nick's to join them for their Eco-Active day. We were met by the St Nicks crew who told us a bit about the importance of woodland management and coppicing with standards.

Standards, we don't have standards - Bad Jim Max

We split into two groups, collected our helmets, gloves and lots of sharp saws and headed into the woods. This was Maddy's first time sawing and she did a fantastic job, making quick work of a large fallen tree. Everyone was keen to get felling, and since York is short on any mountains, we made do with saws and loppers to clear a path of organised destruction.

TIMBER! - Christine

Mitch had found his groove, clearly his natural habitat is the woods, and after coming out of his den he donned a helmet and got stuck in bringing down the largest tree he could find. This one was going to take two of us and, always up for sawing something, Craig stepped in to help. After a Chuckle Brothers style "to me, to you" we were through but it turns out we had cut the tree too neatly. We'll take that as a win.

I really enjoy this sawing - Mitch

Everyone was working hard clearing the trees and moving them to form what had now been deemed the Semicircle of Doom. Meanwhile Digby decided that Max's running bag was a fun toy and pinched it. What followed was an entertaining episode of catch the pigeon (dog) as we chased after him.

After a few hours of lopping, sawing and raking we could finally see the wood for the trees and retired successful. How we got so much done?... I'm stumped.

A fantastic 50 GG Yorkies came along for a huge task to help Tang Hall Smart!

It was brilliant to welcome along so many first timers to the run tonight, and a big shout out to Amanda who rallied the troops from her own Monday night running group to help us out, we love a bit of collaboration.

With Leanne leading the way, we headed over to the Burnholme Community Hub and were welcomed by the extremely well-prepared Sue Williamson, Founder of this incredible community company. Sue told us a little bit about all the amazing things they are doing before showing us all the stuff we needed to move. Furniture, tables, computers, amps and more, it all needed moving from the old building to the new, fancy purpose-built building which was just next door.

If the sticker is red, it has to go upstairs. If the sticker is blue, it also has to go upstairs.

Everybody desperately tried to find something with a yellow or green sticker and soon a swarm of good was making it's way across the bit of wasteland in between the old and new site. Over at the new Hub, Al and other Tang Hall Smart folk were on hand to make sure all the kit ended up in the right room.

We were all delighted to see Sean, who was our official GG photographer for the evening. For those that don't know, Sean has been a keen GG Yorkie and mission runner from the beginning, but has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. You can read his story here. It's brilliant to have you back Sean!

As you can see from Sean's fabulous photos, some of the equipment was particularly large, with filing cabinets, a piano and a huge photocopier in the mix.

I think you shouldn't carry the piano up the stairs - Becky, very sensible

A few of our runners got distracted doing a spot of filming with Abigail from BBC York, but she was getting them to lunge so I didn't mind and let them crack on with it.

In an unbelievable 25 minutes, everything was moved, way ahead of schedule! It is really mind-blowing what you can achieve with a bit of people power.

With all that time to spare, we had a great little percussion session and made beautiful GoodGym music (or a truly terrible din..) with Laurence on the drums and Sue on the sax. There were also jumping squats and lunges, obviously.

With all our good done, we completed mini running drills to get our legs fired up for the 3km run back to base.
