Hedg(-ehogg)ing our bets

Bristol Report written by Melanie Young (she/her)

Beating the impending heatwave (number 3 of 2025), we gathered in the shade at Workout (except Roddy who was determined to stand in the evening sun) and set off in two group - the runners with Richard now as a fully-fledged Fitness Leader (taking charge of the requisite First Aid Kit) and the walkers where no-one's really in charge and conversations are many and varied.

We had a plan, we knew we were preparing table cloths and decorations for the Festive Friends lunch on Friday, and watering the planters that were very dry. Except none of the decorations material shad been left out, so we kept ourselves busy with watering and weeding the edges of the building and front/side walls so he outside would look lovely for the Festive Friends. At least there wasn't a big pile of bunting to untangle!

There are planters of herbs and many fruits - a fig tree that's looking amazing (note to self - ensure we have a visit in 5 or 6 weeks' time when they should be ripening nicely), raspberries, gooseberries and wineberries where scientific sampling was carried out.

Then the Top Excitement of the evening overshadowed all other finding, conversations and puns as a little hedgehog was spotted and we ensured it found a quiet, shady spot to curl up. I say ensured, when we went back to check it had found itself a good temporary spot, but we're happy to take the credit as we COULD have helped if it had been needed.

We discussed a fitness session as the foot/cycle bridge is quite high, steps and slopes so lends itself, if only there'd not been an impending heatwave, and the pollution levels from the motorway below are possibly not ideal...

Soon we were climbing and descending the bridge just the once on our way back to Workout where it was the perfect evening for sitting out on the terrace.

Fantastic GoodGymming, Bristol!

Buttercup Battle

Bristol Report written by Melanie Young (she/her)

A very warm evening greeted Bristol GoodGym with Matt making his first appearance - hopefully the first of many!

Runners and walkers set off for Brunswick Cemetery after the usual health and safety chat with the plan to take out as many buttercup seed heads before they could scatter to make more weeds next year. The hot weather has meant they're "ripening" really fast this year.

A breakdown in communication meant the runners had started on pathfinding the lovely spiral that keeps disappearing with some swapping to the buttercup blitz.where we filled black bags and were still only halfway through the park!

It was soon time to head back to Workout for a well-earned drink or two to chat a bit more about life, the universe and everything. More to follow next week!
