Starting with an intro and a warm-up outside Tap Tavern in Richmond town centre, the seven of us headed straight down to the riverside to run on the river path to Petersham & Ham Sea Scouts. It was very quiet in town and even quieter by the river, giving us all the chance to take in the view and feel fortunate to be in such a beautiful place.
Around 2.5km of running at a variety of paces, we arrived at the scout base. Task leader Russell explained the two jobs for the evening: digging out an area of soil we had cleared bushes from on a previous visit, and shifting logs from where they had been cut to where they could be used as seats for the scout groups, further up than the Thames comes in when the tide is up.
Both jobs were a really good workout, just what GoodGym tasks are all about, and warranted a nice stretch off once we had run back to the Tap Tavern.
We are back there on Saturday for our Community Mission to help them get on top of the digging area and clear up after more tree work.
