A cracking GoodGym session as Goodgym teamed up once again with the brilliant Canal & River Trust to give the towpath some much needed attention.

The task: To clear a stretch of vegetation that had started creeping across the path. The team absolutely delivered, together they tackled around 100 metres of overgrowth, restoring the towpath to its full width and making it safer and more welcoming for everyone using the canal.

Of course, no GoodGym outing is complete without a bit of litter picking. Among the usual cans and wrappers the team found some more unusual treats a full, unopened can of Bud, a coat, and even a crop top. The canal always keeps us guessing!

The standout moment of the day belonged to Srini, who “tightened” his life jacket… by accidentally pulling the emergency cord and inflating! Atleast we know they are in working order haha.

It was fantastic to welcome three of our newest members, Gillian, Rich, and Srini. They jumped right in and were brilliant additions to the team. Shout out to taskforce member Jen and the Canal and River Trust, one of the groups favourite tasks, see you next time on the towpath!

A brambly morning at Saffron Acres as a small but mighty team tackled the overgrown fence line.

Goodgym ledgends Stu and Nick were joined by new GoodGym member Srinivas, who’s currently studying at DMU, great to have him join on his first Good Deed. Armed with shears, rakes and determination, they got to work clearing the grass and brambles along the perimeter fence. It was a bit of a jungle to begin with, but they soon made solid progress, revealing clear paths and tidy edges by the end of the session.

Also a big congratulations to Stu on his 401st Good deed, a celebration cake is owed the next time I see you! Weldone Stu.

Great work all round and a big welcome again to Srinivas hope to see you on more sessions soon!
