LIDO ... Woah Oh Oh Oh Oh
16 GoodGymers made their way 3.2km to help their local community in Bath.
- Tuesday, 6th of June 2017
- Led by Bath runner
When the West wind doth blow, the Goodgymers grow in Bath showing the wind who's boss tonight a 16 strong team for a scenic 4k run to A Hidden Gem in our beautiful City, in fact it's believed to be the oldest outdoor swimming pool in England and the country's only surviving Georgian Lido http://www.clevelandpools.org.uk/
It closed to the public in 1984 but a target date to re open April 2019 if enough match funding is raised.
we went along tonight to help out in the grounds to keep it manageable for the trust to host open days to help raise funds.
Whoop!! Welcome to Ollie joining us for the first time.
Round of applause for
Emily who was sporting her Gg Wings
A reminder during our warm up that everyone is welcome to come along and support the Goodgym Olympics on Saturday at Parliament Hill track Hampstead Heath, it should be fun.
Pascale kindly lead the group out with Steph back marking and we took a short but scenic route along the canal to our destination where our lovely host Sally was waiting.
what an amazing place
The short run meant we could lavish a full 50 minutes on tonight's task at the finding all sorts of creatures from newts to beetles and giant slugs
Lido woah oh oh oh oh oh oh One more Newt ought to get it One last slug then we quit it One more run for the road
3 amazing teams divided on site with Pascale and her magic team clearing windswept debris from around the pool. Alison and crew clearing the pathway behind the main building to allow access. Ollie jumping right in with his team to tackle a rather overgrown bank.
Wow!! What a great job done in a short space of time in an amazing space.
Just time for our magic Bath Boomerang before bidding Sally and the Pools goodbye until next time.
A short spurt back to the leisure centre for a chat about tonight's pun and nice little stretch out.
Well done everyone, as they say another task bites the dust at Goodgym Bath
