It's that time of year when Bake Off warm loveliness is competing with GoodGym Bristol torrential rain loveliness.
11 fab GoodGym folk took the plunge to head to Windmill Hill City Farm - Alice led a group on an extended run to the farm with Clo back-marking whilst Darren led a group running directly there, with Chris L back-marking and the two northerners showing everyone that its still shorts weather. They were the first to arrive and set up to rake leaves to clear paths and make brilliant leaf mould for next Autumn. We were going to weed the orchard, too, but that was going to make a mess of the place whilst the raking would be tidy!
I'll be honest, it was pretty difficult to get good photos but lots of hardwork meant three bags of leaves weren't on the paths and wildlife garden anymore, hopefully most of the woodchip and gravel was left behind on the paths.
The Wednesday morning crew can check we managed to collect up everything from the shed...
When we'd all got thoroughly soaked and the tools cleaned and put away, Darren led the group on an impromptu harbour loop to finish after presenting Valè with her Nodist badge for the club of those people who've walked the 45km route over all 45 of Bristol's bridges-over-water for Darren's virtual London Marathon.
Hopefully it looks good in daylight!
