This morning GoodGym teamed up with a bunch of volunteers from Friends of Lyncombe Hill Fields to help tidy an area of meadow.
We joined a team of rakers who were following on behind one of the FLHF volunteers who was armed with a petrol driven grass cutter, and us raking the cuttings into big piles then bagging the piles up and carrying them to the edge of the field.
This was a proper, classic GoodGym upper body workout. Made slightly more exciting by having to avoid (we failed) the stinging nettles when lifting the cutting into the bags (note to GoodGym HQ: long sleeve branded kit option...)
Along the way we managed to rescue various wildlife including a frog, a vole and various snails.
The team of volunteers made good inroads into what is quite a large meadows area, but this is very much an ongoing project for FLHF ... so hopefully we may be invited back for more of the same.
