Five Goodgymmers, Eleanor, James, Roger, Keith and Lea turned up for some mucking… well, carrying about 50 bags of manure mulch down some steps to drop them in varying places in the Pine Cliff Gardens, a hidden gem of a cliff top location with views of the sea and even Old Harry in the distance. After the carrying came the cutting open and emptying of the bags. Then the regular garden volunteers could rake the muck around the plants. With each bag weighing between 15-20 kilos, Goodgym’s help was much appreciated. Keith was heaving the bags onto the wheelbarrow and trolley, James, Roger and Eleanor carried them down the steps with Lea doing a one-armed trolley run. Eleanor heaving the bags up as if it was nobody’s business, was very impressive! You can imagine what her hands and tshirt looked like after all that. James, Eleanor and Lea could get rid of any aggression by slashing open the bags before tipping them. Keith and Roger collected the empty bags. A quick coffee and a chat and then a “thank you very much” from Vicky and with that another Goodgym task successfully completed. But the beautiful wooden statues of insects proved too inviting… they provided a nice bit of mucking about after all that mucking!
