15 runners ran 6k to help Stepney City farm prepare for bonfire night.

A nifty group of 15 runners hit our usual haunt Stepney City farm last night. We had expected compost, but were offered something a bit more palletable:

Our jobs were laying woodchip on the paths, making 'sink holes' and dismantling pallets.

"melodious bashing"

We arrived and split into our three teams. Fran and Becky headed a team briskly shifting wood chip to the path. Alex called for more 'melodious bashing' from the pallet workers next door.

" pit number one"

Andrew and Zosia worked on pit number one making a 2 metre wide hole in 37 mins. Patrick's team of diggers hit concrete quite quickly - but had managed to make a hole big enough to drain most of the water down by the side of the shed.

"dangerous"

New runner Emma got stuck in immediately with GoodGym's 'most dangerous' task - pallet bashing, working with Richard, Cullain and others to rip apart the pallets with crowbars. It was hard to get them to stop, but they'd pretty much completed 3 whole pallets worth by the end of the time.

Having worked hard for 40 mins we hit the streets again. My group heading straight back to base and Patrick leading a speedier session along the canal.

Also, the Arch Gallery have open nights every Thursday. Get yourself along if can.
