This week's fitness challenge was to solve all 8 clues which took Hounslow GGers to the sites of various previous tasks over the course of 7kms - a massive well done to all of you who cracked the questions! Look out for another fitness task to be completed over the coming week very soon.

In the meantime, here are the answers (apologies for the mistake in clue 8!) and some great pics from Andy...

Clue 1:

Direct those speedy feet

To this place we gave a spruce

When water meets with heat

What does it produce?

The Water and Steam Museum

Clue 2:

In the war against pollution

Contaminating the Thames

GoodGym provides the solution

Picking plastic with our friends

Kew Bridge slipway

Clue 3:

Here we wrestled with a stubborn tree

And forgot those pesky gate codes

We scooped up leaves and other debris

At a school just off the Thames Road

Strand on the Green Primary School

Clue 4:

Our gardening skills are arbitrary

But there's a reason to be smug:

Healthy Chiswick trees of cherry

From all those soil beds that we dug

Staveley Rd cherry trees

Clue 5:

Marriages and town meetings

And our weekly meeting spot

Despite excessive central heating

It was our favourite place to squat

Chiswick Town Hall

Clue 6:

Here despite our obvious fitness

And impressive digging style

We found we still could not diminish

That enormous compost pile

Cultivate London - Enfield Rd

Clue 7:

Amid the enormous wall of brambles

That we battled to get clear

Despite the thorns that scratched our ankles

An ancient lodge did finally appear

Gunnersbury Park (the old lodge)

Clue 8:

The Packhorse did our fave grub

But at the Lamb we'd never hang out

Will we someday try this fast pub

Found on Chiswick roundabout?

The Express Tavern
