Tonight 19 GoodGymers ran 6km to Mousehold Health to help support the biodiversity in this natural habitat.
It's a regular and popular task on the GG Norwich calender lead by Will the local warden, who provided tools and a gave us a historical background on this famous site.
We split into 2 groups, covering a wide area pulling up bracken to allow heather and other plant species to grow. We also used 5 pitch forks to clear the area of a former chapel ready for a Heritage Open Day History Walk taking place this weekend. See the booking link if you are interested in attending.
We also celebrated the runners, volunteers and cheerleaders, who took to the streets of the city centre for Run Norwich 10km yesterday! Nice one team.
After a swift hours work it was time to bid farewell. We will be back again for more conservation work in the next month.

We had a great turnout for an evening of bracken pulling at Mousehold Heath.
It was a shock (but a very pleasant one) to see the return of Panda Dave, who was actually completing his 50th GoodGym deed!
Will the Warden took us to an area of the heath where the evasive bracken was preventing the heather from thriving. So our task was to clear as much bracken as possible, to allow the heather to breath and flower.
It never ceases to amaze me how much the team get done. We transformed the area we were working in.
Leo and Emrys (the GG Norwich mascots) also enjoyed the evening.

This week marked 8 years of GoodGym Norwich.
During those 8 years we have completed 8,411 good deeds by 469 different people, and have actively traveled nearly 155,000 km. 53 GoodGymers have completed 50x good deeds and 25 GoodGymers have completed 100x good deeds.
Tonight was also Stephen Knock's 50th good deed!!
Our task to Sue Lambert Trust was canceled last minute, so we did a bit of a littler pick around the Norwich Cathedral grounds, then nestled there for a picnic on a glorious summer evening.
Here's to the next 8 years!

Andrew Ralph done 100 good deeds with GoodGym.
Andrew has just reached another level: 100 good deeds with GoodGym. That's at least 100 times when they could have easily done something easier. But they didn't, Andrew has kept going and going. Helping a lot of other people and getting a bit fitter at the same time. Congratulations Andrew.

This evening we started a new project at Mousehold Allotments, where we started clearing an unused area, overgrown with brambles. This will eventually turned into a community garden area.
A massive cheer to Andy who completed his 100th good deed over the weekend!
