Task 1: Lifting a Shipping continar by hand! Who needs Strong men competition when you have Good gym. Ok we did use a large pole, we are still the strongest Goodgymers in the west.
Task 2: Prep for Moving boats, We moved old types ready fo boats to rest on. At this point I was questioning why, we are not preping for to the next 40 day flood.
Task 3: Switching Boats over so the outside boat can get cleaned. As you have guess the rain was getting heavyer and these Boats are not how I image Noah loading animals. By we did lift safely 2 by 2.
Task 4: Sweeding the main building, in doing this task the Kayaks where moved. I think it was a quick once over to confirm we can get into boats ready for the high waters.
Task 5: Sam climbed the stair way to mud, to clean the continars. I docmented the flowers so we have arecord for when the floods come.
We walked away in the Sunny (and not so dry) Richmond

Our Saturday mission was at the Landmark Art’s Centre, where we were digging up the footpath of their garden. We had to dig deep enough to get to the membrane and remove the membrane sheets. These have been there for quite a few years and it was more like tearing them out one bit at a time. There will be a new path laid, which will also be more accessible for wheelchair users. We spotted quite a few worms and fat, white grubs. Afterwards, we rewarded ourselves with a good ‘grub’ at the Anglers pub and enjoyed the sunshine!

This group run took us to the greatest Carolinian landscape in the world and a bat superhighway - Ham Avenues.
Here we came to the rescue of the European lime trees which were being troubled by nasty shoots aka "suckers" growing out from their trunks. These were no match for the GoodGymmers as we used loppers to cut them away.
It was a glorious evening for a gentle run/ walk along the river. We welcomed Joanna to her first GG task, celebrated Maena's birthday and took in Ken's local history knowledge.
