First off, massive kudos to Andy, who got his GG Wings tonight, completing his 100th Good Deed!
After a brief period of being lost, Katie asked for directions to the Adventure Playground from some local kids, and it turned out they were heading there too! We then had to up our jog to a bit of a sprint to keep up with them.
The kids were very keen to lend a hand, and got on with digging after our team had broken up some soil. I had the very important job of "bag holder", which then escalated to "child labour coordinator" to ensure everyone who wanted a turn got a chance with a shovel.
Andy (jokingly) asked if he could have a turn on the zipline, which lead to quite a few of us having a go. It was a fair bit higher than expected, and a lot faster!
Amazingly, in just an hour, we'd practically emptied the compost and soil from the pirate ship, so we'll be back next week with crowbars to tear down the carcass that remains.
