5 hardy Goodgymmers battled the elements yesterday as they visited the Westbury Banks Nature Reserve for a very lively Sunday Service. 

Ahead of the task, poor Charlie and Juan agreed to run ~10k with me. They were awesome and didn't even complain when someone got us lost, going up the wrong hill in deepest Crouch End. No matter, 11k were mostly enjoyed, I think.

At the Reserve, we were joined by Latoya and Nurjehan who showed up full of beans and didn't let the sudden downpour deter their good spirits.

We turned over the massive compost bin, we weeded the main path by the entrance, gave the pond a wheelbarrow's worth of rain water, and put up a lovely arch by the wooden steps. Not bad for an hour's work!
