Dene ‘n’ Dusted…
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the Urban Green Newcastle in Newcastle.

…edged, shovelled, and cleared.
Five GoodGymers (and Andrew) set out to work their magic (ably assisted, of course, by Mike & Maddie from Urban Green 😊) to transform the Jesmond Dene parkrun route.
Two hours of back breaking work and a large stretch of the route was suddenly at least a couple of feet wider.
Impressed? You should be as 3 of us had done the “all uphill for the first half of the route” parkrun first. Kudos to Phil, Deb and Tanya - what a trio!
And hats off to Seb and myself for patiently listening to the retelling of every gruelling step 😊😊! (Only joking Phil, Deb & Tanya – we were both seriously impressed and somewhat in awe.)
Congrats to everyone for great team work this morning – we achieved more than Mike & Maddie thought possible – and any resemblance to a criminal chain gang (see the photos) was purely accidental!
