#GG10 The stakes weren't so high so we ditched them
24 GoodGymers made their way 5.4km to help the Thames Landscape Strategy in Richmond.
- Monday, 16th of September 2019

Let's paint you a picture (or at least our artist will...)
We all got ready to board the Goodgym Monday night flight with a pilot at the ready.
The teachers kept everyone in line although Sandy from Grease was already a rebel and trying her luck , thankfully if things got too serious the police woman was on hand.
Captain America was a super leader as we walked or ran to the task, following his super speed, building up an appetite for whatever the chefs could cook up...a recipe of goodness no doubt!
Once at the task the stakes were high...or were they?? We thought we had to climb many metres with fence stakes in hand but instead we were sent along a dark path and instructed to throw the stakes into a ditch so they were ready to be built to protect the beautiful landscape in Richmond.
We served up an ace...well the tennis player amongst us did. You might say we were so speedy with the task that we were "on fire!" Thank goodness for the firefighter on site to cool us down.
After the run many of us decided to conquer the infamous Nightingale Hill. As the footballer tackled the incline, the stewardess noticed a drop in cabin pressure, but still we powered through with the help of our climber to reach the top and once there the magician worked their magic to help us disappear back down Richmond Hill and back to Wholefoods.
All the characters - chuffed with what we had achieved celebrated a good night and a happy 10th birthday to Goodgym at the pub.
And if I lost some of you during this report, then let me explain that we celebrated being 10 years old dressed as what we professionally wanted to be at that age.
