Exploratory lifting, with mud and leaf shifting
11 GoodGymers made their way 4.6km to help the Sustrans Rangers Sheffield in Sheffield.

A strong start to the year with a good turnout despite the weather turning colder and even having a few drops of snow in the air last night!
We had a new runner along last night who was welcomed and put a good effort in at the task and also increase (neh doubling) our French contingenet within the group!
A massive bienvenu to Joseph
Please give Josepha a cheer and a follow and we hope to see you again soon!
We met Sustrans Simon on site at the entrance to Lynwood Gardens who had already laid out tools, ready for us to get cracking, after a quick brief we got straight to it:
- Path clearing
- Litter picking
- Scraping mud off the path
- Sweeping leaves of the path
- Flagstone inspectioning
This section of path is a key link for a lot of walkers and cyclists, which takes you through a beautiful little wooded stretch. Unfortunately with the beauty of trees, there is also a lot of fallen leaves and mud that gets clumped together, encroaching on the path, making it slippery, narrower and less appealing and safe for users.
Once we were done, despite it being dark you could see how much wider and clearer the path was after our efforts.
Well done team!
