York Report written by Ed Woollard (He/Him)
19 Goodgym Yorkies, including newbies Amy and Dylan, ventured to Rowntree Park to cut back the wooded area towards the back of the park.
The instructions were very simple, 'cut everything down to ground level'. Exactly the kind of direction we like to hear, and before long we were lopping and sawing everything in sight.
Do you want me to trim your spikey bush
The trees seemed to be a mixture of hazel and the spikiest thing known to man, but that didn't deter Nick from offering to lend a hand to wife Barbara!
Latecomer Debs was quick to get down to work and showed Ed and Mitch how to saw a tree properly (and faster than the two of them could manage together). The pile of branches and trunks was soon building up and started to be gathered into bags by those brave enough to confront the spikey things hands on!
Pete kept up the pace dragging the bigger branches down to the play area, whilst Debs and Craig persisted to the bitter end on the many stumps of stumpiness! A quick tidy and a round up of tools and we were good to go. Although I'm sure we'll be back for more lopping and sawing another day.
