This week's group run too us up to Dallow Downs and the Ferndale allotment. Thanks to previous efforts this allotment that had fallen out of use is now fully occupied with keen growers.

the final part of bringing the allotment back into good use was clearing up collected bits of rubbish in the overgrown parking area.

We got rummaging in the foliage to find the bits of old wood, metal buckets and general litter left lying around and now grown over by thick plants, building an impressive pile ready for quick removal. With all the rubbish pulled out the area is safe for a strimming and reclaiming the area for better use.

We made quick work of it so we took the scenic route down the beautifully sunny downs and picked litter on the way. Filling a couple of bags with our findings before we got back onto the streets.

Tonight 6 Goodgymers used their talents to cook up a great meal for the Food cycle guests. We served 27 guests plus take aways. Gill did the Food collection, Dani and Lucie were cooks extraordinaire and Abdulrahman,Fawaz and Neill served the guests with smiles and generosity. Starter: Carrot and parsnip soup Main : Roast vegetables with cauliflower cheese in an onion gravy Dessert: Cake and custard
