Gloomy and dark Tuesday evening : Steph Ducat was the lead runner today in absence of the usual suspects. Today welcomed Mohamed on his 1st run and community mission with Goodgym. As a duo, both runners set off in the city of light to reach the dark parks of Ealing. Welcome to the dark side : we reached Walpole Park and surprised that on the other side we could see the light at the end of the tunnel but we could not get out as they closed the gate, so a small run back to the next one, which was also locked. U Turn and over the fence as they were locked in :nevertheless the run carried on and reached Blondin Park on time to meet Beata who ran from her side and Augustin joined as he cycled from home. Linda welcomed us and we got the wheelbarrows, shovels, a broom or massive brush, a rack and some plastic bags. Mission in the dark was to clear the leaves off the main path so that the lights on the ground were visible. The 2nd task was to move wood chip from the pile that never seems to disappear to the side of the paths and cover the mud. Head torches on and the team scoped all the leaves and moved quite a lot of wood chip. At the end of the mission, they all went to the pavilion where Linda served nice hot chocolate drinks before disappearing in the darkness of Ealing. Welcome Mohamed to Goodgym.


This task supported

The Blondin Consortium formed in 2018 and started raising funds to build the Blondin Park Community Pavilion. With the help of so many people we have been able to see our dream come to fruition and were able to open for business in September 2021. Run by volunteers this is an exciting community success story with all profits reinvested back into Blondin Park.
