4 Epic GoodGymers ran and cycled there ways to Springfield Park to help with the Park refurbishment.

Running our way strongly up from London Fields to the North of the borough finishing up 3.5k later in Springfield park.

Then we hit a bit of a hiccup as i firgot the padlock codes (sorry). A call and txt message search later and we were in to the depot to grab our kit for the evening.

We had the task of clearing the muddy build up around the edge of the lawn to prevent further build up which could get pretty slippery for the park users.

With a multitude of tools we got stuck right in perfecting a top quality dirt removal team technique.

Scraping it out, shoveling it up and sweeping the path clean!

45 minutes of quality chats and physical graft and we had filled the barrow to the brim!!

A satisfying job complete we tidied up and headed home with a great task in the bank!

Thank you so much fir coming along!

Joel
