On a hot Monday evening and with multiple reminders to bring water, 12 wonderful GoodGymers spent the evening clearing self seeding weeds at RUSS Community Land Trust.

Lucky for us, it was a short run to the task this evening and after a little warm up and discussion of what our favourite Olympic sport is, we were quickly on our way to RUSS.

It was a brand new group run task for us this evening and it's definitely a project that we'll be involved in over the coming months.

Our task for this evening was to clear the self seeding weeds to make some space for planting in the borders. Sue has some fabulous ideas of what is going to be planted and there's going to be 2 ponds. Time flies when you're pulling weeds up and shifting the woodchip.

There was time for a tour which revealed even more flower bed that we'll need to help clear. And then also time for a cup of tea and biscuit - thank you for treating us!

Next week it's a trip up the hill the Luxmore Gardens to continue the weeding.
