An interesting change from the weekday office normality….

Three Goodgymmers and three local volunteers arrived at Dacres Wood Nature Reserve.

The task was to tackle the over grown pond weeds.

First thing, think PPE…. We all got kitted out in wadders and rubber gloves and made our way to the pond.

With forks and stabilising sticks we set about the task of clearing the weeds, and remaining our balance (I am please to report no one fell over).

Kat, Kat and Paul (Goodgym) along with John, John and Oscar (Local volunteers) made large inroads into clearing the reeds.

A pleasant two hours was spent talking about all things running, and local history with one of the Johns who has lived in the local area for over 50 years!

Two hours flew by, and after the tools were put away and we were hosed down everyone went on their separate ways to get some well deserved sustenance.
