Due to the World Cup semi-final match and Wimbledon tennis last night, only 7 runners turned up for the night's task to help Unique Roots at their Mayfield Road Allotment site. We set off as one large group immediately after the task briefing and customary photo shoot for Mayfield Road, a distance of over 3.5km.

On arrival at the site we were met by Pam of Unique Roots and her lovely daughter who let us through the locked allotment gates. Our task for the night was to weed the beds of unwanted plants, plant some pepper and bedding plants. We were provided tools after which the group set to work. The tasks were completed within forty minutes to the satisfaction of Pam and the group helped water the newly planted plants as well as the raised beds before saying goodbye.

We ran back again as one large group looping back regularly to pick up those at the back and ensure no one was left behind. We arrived safely at our Solution Fitness base where we did our warm downs sessions.

Next week we are back at Addiscombe Railway Park. We will be helping the Friends of Addiscombe Railway Park with some gardening tasks and also see how the work we did in June has helped them in their Community Garden.
