Heaton Picks With Pride

Newcastle Report written by Newcastle runner

A satisfying Monday evening was spent picking litter around Heaton, after Heaton Pride at the weekend. It wasn't just GoodGymers tonight, there were people from Newcastle City Council and some Heaton Pride volunteers too.

We joined some of the people involved with Heaton Pride for a quick drink afterwards in The Last Resort, a small pub on Heaton Road.

Heat-on Up With Pride

Newcastle Report written by Newcastle runner

The rain stopped just in time for four GoodGymers to head out towards Heaton from Stepney Bank Stables, armed with many hundreds of Heaton Pride leaflets, without getting wet.

The terraced streets of Heaton are perfect for delivering lots of leaflets quickly. The best part of 1,000 leaflets were delivered in an hour.

Please join Aimee to complete the job on Thursday.

Ousebinned

Newcastle Report written by Newcastle runner

The weather god were kind to GoodGym Newcastle tonight as the wind and rain that came before and after subsided as we cleared the litter after the Ouseburn Festival.

There were five bags full tonight, with probably the most unusual item picked up being a half full baby bottle.

The Neigh-bourhood Library

Newcastle Report written by Newcastle runner

On a balmy Monday evening six GoodGymers helped prepare Stepney Bank Stables for this weekend's Ouseburn Festival.

Louise undoubtedly worked the hardest, mopping the floor with cold water and no detergent. It did definitely look better afterwards than it did before! Scott rearranged the chaotic helmets, while put the dozens of pairs of boots into size order on their racks.

Meanwhile Eleanor, Aimee and Dan took the lead with transporting the horse-related books upstairs, then arranging them in a perfectly colour-coordinated way on the bookshelves.

Please visit the Ouseburn Festival at the weekend if you can, and we'll see you next Monday to pick up the litter that didn't end up in the local bins.

Bensham Releaf Force

Newcastle Report written by Newcastle runner

We ventured slightly further afield than usual tonight, running the 1.8 miles from One Strawberry Lane to Bensham Grove Tiny Forest. Meeting several members of the community there, the main task tonight was to document, through photographs, the plants and animals present.

Unusually for a GoodGym Newcastle group run, we powered across the Redheugh Bridge towards Bensham. On getting there, after a brief lesson on bumblebees, moths and butterflies we set to work documenting the Tiny Forest, spread over only 208 square metres. Apparently some local had been complaining about it, thinking it was overgrown compared to the surrounding lawns with short grass, but it turned out there was quite an array of plants and animals, as is the intention.

All of the photographs were to be uploaded to the Earthwatch website. Adding them here too might have set the record for most photographs attached to a GoodGym Newcastle report.

Before leaving, we were invited back, likely on a Saturday morning, so please look out for that.
