This week we were back out into the wilderness of the West Wight - at Golden Hill Fort. The task was to lay more crushed limestone to improve the many footpaths in the area, a job that we are becoming VERY familiar with ....! The rangers had been so suprised by the speed at which we completed a similar task last week, that they decided to push us that little bit further this time. They had pre-delivered 3 piles of limestone (each at 2 tonnes!) - not only did we manage to do this but they had to get a further supply from the adjacent building suppliers...... well done Green Gymers - we won! In addition to all the shovelling and wheelbarrowing, part of the team were involved in cutting back the undergrowth to make the pathways more accessable.
The weather was once again wonderful - more like mid summer that spring.... fingers crossed that it stays that way.
This is our blog - check what we've been up to recently or over the past couple of decades! We meet each Wednesday morning at venues across the Island. You must be 18 or over to join us. We work to benefit the Island's countryside helping local groups and organisations and boosting our health, fitness and confidence gaining new skills and friends along the way!
