Report written by Yianny (he / him)
What a beautiful Spring evening to be heading out on our Lambetrh Group Run! It was gloriously bright and sunny but with a chill in the air - perfect running conditions - and many GGers were seeing each other in natural light for the first time!!
A warm welcome to James who was joining a Group Run for the first time, it was lovely to have you with us and another great addition to the Lambeth community! It was also lovely to have Task Force star Sarah back after a period away having been very unwell - we are glad to have you back. Lastly Aimee thanks for venturing out to meet us after your HIIT session, your glasses didn't impair your weed picking in the slightest!
Tonight's category controversy was around pizza toppings where the consensus was that burgers should not be found anywhere near them.
Tonight we were heading back to the Weir Link to help out Lizzie who had left us some hand tools and bags to clear away the weeds around the front of the centre. Despite the task name it was in fact the Dandelions we came to clear not the Daffodils, don't panic folks, no daffs were harmed during the making of this task!
It's a 2 mile each way run so a challenging but manageable distance for this group and luckily it's slightly uphill on the way out meaning a coast downhill heading back.
The team made a decent dent in the work with (Good) Jim looking on - see pics - split between those with hand tools digging up roots and the rest pulling up the weeds by hand. With the central section cleared and a good stretch of border also done it was tome to head home.
There was time for one last pizza based bit of trivia from Kaz who shared a New Zealand delicacy (?!) of pizza base with canned spaghetti on top..... The less said the better I think ;0)
On arrival back at Papa's a handsome ginger moggy decided to join in the session and came stealthily into the hall - thanks Michael for ushering him back out so we could lock up and head home!
Thanks everyone and see you at the next one !!
The Weir Link acts as a catalyst for change by offering educational, training and social support for local residents.
