In classic Goodgym fashion, this mission involved a nice run (slightly more than 10k), a planting mission for Meath Gardens and a well deserved drink after.

We met at Meath Gardens at 12 on what was a mild, but windy day and set off on a circular route along the canal. Jo and Iva did great and ran further than they had run before. They didn't even moan when I admitted to accidentally taking the scenic route and adding 0.5km to the route.

On our return, we met up with Daniel and Sally - unfortunately, we missed Daniel at the start, but that meant he was able to do a lot of tree planting. Sally was on her second mission that day! Tasks included planting and placing stakes and a protective cover around the plants to protect them from overzealous strimmers.
