3 runners met up to help the YMCA with tidying up their allotment.

It was a brisk but clear and dry evening for the GoodGym Barnsley crew, where 3 of our runners met up to exercise those green fingers at the YMCA Allotment.

Our first challenge of the evening was actually getting into the lock-up to reach the tools. The 3 of us eventually managed to figure out how to get the padlock off, so thankfully we were able to access the tools. It would have been a slow evening picking up leaves by hand otherwise.

There were a variety of tasks for us to be getting on with, so we armed ourselves with hand shovels and sweeping brushes and set about:

• 🌱 weeding the paths;
• 🍁 sweeping up the leaves;
• 🍏 collecting all the fallen apples;
• 🗑️ and tidying everything away.

Our last challenge of the evening was remembering how to get the padlock back onto the lockup... Lessons were learned.
