Tonight run saw a solid 11 runners head out into the cold to tackle our biggest challenget yet:  An alleged 56 bags of earth that needed to be moved to the 5th floor of the Chisenhale school. We met at York Hall as usual and headed North to the Canal and headed East through Victoria Park - the gates were wide open on the way in but very shut on the way out. This lead to exciting clambering action that was good for upper body strength but a bit nerve-wracking for me as an organiser of the outing. After this we were quickly at Chisenhale School and we were being explained how we could lug the bags of earth to the top of the building.  It took us approximately 27 minutes to complete the job and was probably a good full-body work out for everyone.  We left the school and headed through Mile End park along the canal,  through the dark and bustling streets of Stepney and North back to York Hall.  Very good.More pictures to follow.UPDATE:  New video from Pipelinea run with the good gym from pipeline project on Vimeo.
