Raking and Shifting at Heworth Holme

Welcome to GoodGym York 🙌

🏃‍♀️🏃We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city.

TONIGHT'S TASK🌳

We'll be heading to Heworth Holme to help the St Nicks team with some raking and digging at this nature spot.

We'll be using hand tools, so please bring gardening gloves if you have them.

Please wear a headtorch as it will be dark

WHERE WE MEET 🎒

We will be meeting outside the Ackhorne Pub on St Martin’s Lane, YO1 6LR (just off Micklegate). We can leave our bags and valuables in their office, which is secure.

🚲There is cycle parking nearby on both Micklegate and at the Priory Street Centre (as you approach the centre a 10 bay covered cycle parking is to the left in the car park) On street parking is available on Priory Street. These are all only a couple of minutes walk to the new meeting point.

RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US 👏

GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. If you prefer to walk let us know and we can arrange a walking group.

👍We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is. If running isn’t for you we can do x cycling group to this task. Please let us know if you’d like this option. Or you are always welcome to meet us there.

POST-RUN SOCIAL 🍻

We will finish the group session back at The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin's Lane so why not stay for some liquid refreshment and a good chat?
