🥚18 egg-cellent GoodGymmers spent their Easter Monday evening at Greenfields Garden tonight.
🦸♀️🦸♂️We started off congratulating Cara for her impressive 100 good deeds. She got to "wear" the red cape of glory (aka tie it round her waist - good decision in the heat). We discussed the highlights of our weekends, which included ceramics-painting, racing and Go Ape. We also cheered Nikki G in her absence (hopefully having a well-earned rest) for a marathon PB today 👌
🥳Dom and Abby led a party peace crew tonight and a huge shout out needs to go to Claire for running her furthest distance tonight (next stop parkrun?) Amazing stuff 💪
🌳On arrival at Greenfields, we were split into four groups - brambling, lopping, digging and planting 🌺
🌱The bramble crew were digging up some hefty brambles, including some impressive-looking roots. Meanwhile, the loppers lopped. Willow, to be precise. The diggers were lifting wildflower plants from one area. Then the planters were planting them in a new patch, after removing the protective covering and unveiling an army of woodlice. A dead rat was also lurking nearby, hence the pun🐀
🧺After our allocated time, we regrouped and surveyed our work. As a reward, we were allowed to hunt the remaining chocolate eggs that were left from a children's Easter egg hunt. Some people found many (and kindly shared them) while some found none but fun (and competitive spirit) abounded 🕵️♂️🕵️♀️
🎶Speaking of competitive spirit, that was on show aplenty during our musical planks fitness. We ran and when the music stopped, we planked by a cone. Unless there wasn't a cone, in which case you were out. That competitive spirit really shone through from Ben who was the last one standing (planking) after some impressive running (and diving) into plank position 👏
🏃♀️🏃♂️After all that fun, we headed back to base for stretching and wishing of luck to everyone racing at Burnsall this weekend 🤞
