For this week's Saturday run we were forecast heavy rain and really strong winds! But this didn't put off a brave band of goodgymers, and the weather luckily stayed dryish.

We met as usual on a Saturday at Roll for the Soul and then headed to Bedminster via Queen's Square for a bit of dynamic stretching.

In Bedminster our task was to work with the Patchwork group to transform a piece of land into a community orchard. By the time we arrived the trees had been planted so it was our role to clear some rubble and plant hundreds of bulbs all over the site. Working in twos and threes we got stuck in and got in done double quick!

There was just time for some cake before we headed back to Roll for the Soul via a longer run around the harbour. And we even stayed dry-ish!
