Just to mix it up this evening, we met up at Hilsea Lido. This meant that we could go for a lovely run round Foxes Forest and the Hilsea ramparts before getting stuck into our task. We even managed to find a couple of "hills" and visit the highest point on Portsea Island... the top of the bridge!
A big welcome to GoodGym tourist Oisin and newcomer Emily. Great to welcome Lisa as well - former GG trainer for Ealing, now living down in our part of the world and no longer working on a Wednesday evening!
Post-woodland run we set to work at the Lido. Val had already made a start on the sweeping. Other jobs included watering (the tomatoes are looking good now); getting up to the roof to attach flag tubes; re-hanging lifebelts and generally tidying up around the place. If anyone has any other ideas or things they'd like to do around the Lido/Blue Lagoon, let me know.
After the task a few people had a swim in the pool and we then opened our lunch boxes, compared dinners and finished off with a slice of cake to celebrate Laura's birthday. Don't forget to let me know if you have a birthday coming up ... it gives me an excuse to bake!
I took quite a few action shots this evening - all the pictures can be seen on our Facebook page
Great work again by the gang and nice to have a chance to catch up afterwards too.
Happy running everyone. Next week, we head south to a new task. Sign up here!
