13 Hackney GoodGymers ran 6k to Abney Park Cemetery to shovel, barrow and spread 2 tonnes for fresh mulch.

Zipping away from the Bakehouse with a Spring in our many steps we headed North to Hackney’s Magnificent 7 Cemetery Abney Park. One of the 7 protected and historically significant cemeteries in London our help is a massive boost to keeping the enchanting green space in top nick and useable in the Winter months.

We do this by spreading mulch across the many dirt paths in the Cemetery to keep the mud at bay while also protecting the vegetation and wildlife that live on the path verges from people walking on them.

Straight into action with shovels, barrows, rakes and spot lights we delved deep into the darkness and got working! Slick action lines of filling the wheelbarrows, running them out and tipping the mulch out then raking it into place.

40 minutes in and 2 tones of mulch shifted a top effort produced by all!!

A swift exit and a pacey 3k run back to base finished off a top GG evening!!

Thanks to Justin for the spooky chapel picture!

See you all next week for a trip to the amazing Hollybush community Garden!!

Smooth Running
