11 GoodGym runners met at Barnsbury Square in Islington for a community mission on a Saturday morning.

We were there to help the Friends of Barnsbury Square Gardens by turning over a large patch of compacted ground in preparation for grass seed to be put down.

Key moments included Liz distributing excellent homemade fudge, Rosie getting serious air to plunge her fork deeper into the mud, Alix digging herself onto an island, and when each of the neighbourhood dogs happened upon this unexpected scene.

It was a classic GoodGym group task, many hands making light work of a big job with the only unhappy ones the worms that got a hasty wake up call.
