10 GoodGymers headed to Somerset Point to clear overgrown areas and help residents access the garden paths.

We spent a chilly, but thankfully dry, evening snipping back bushes and shrubs that had encroached on the paths and bagging up lots of previous trimmings that were causing a nuisance along the side access.

The task owner welcomed us and we quickly got organised with our trusty gloves, lamps and torches and a variety of loppers and shears to tackle the unruly vegetation. Working as a team along the fences, we quickly got everything looking much clearer.

To top it off, we were rewarded with some all-important biscuits to power our run back home. (‘Runners Biscuits’ – a new Brighton GoodGym business proposition? Watch this space!)
