All aboard the Good Ship Wood Chip
9 GoodGymers made their way 4.0km to help the Old Boat Corner Community Centre in Brighton.

Yet again Goodgym takes you to parts of town, gets you running up and down the hills and visiting the community projects you hadn’t been to before.
Old Boat Community Centre provides a home for a variety of users and groups and now under new management they are planning to revamp the garden area to encourage outdoor activity among the centres users.
Our task was to refresh a wood chipped area by weeding, cutting back brambles and barrowing in and spreading fresh wood chip. With three barrows but just one shovel, resourceful task owner Ellie had found various old saucepans and frying pans for us to use to shift the chips and in about 45 minutes we had transformed the area making it much more inviting and usable for residents.
The fitness session was a bit different tonight, involving moves designed to work on your mobility and co-ordination. And if any of you didn’t quite get the hang of them don’t worry they are now in my repertoire and there will be plenty of other opportunities!
And a very Happy Birthday to Jason who agreed even after running back up the hill that doing Goodgym is a great way to spend your birthday !
