12 GoodGymers ran 1k and shovelled 32 tonnes of mulch to reach our pathway goal!

Thank you to everyone who could make and wanted to make my last session as Group leader.

Starting the session with a running loop around the perimeter of London Fields to get us rolling for the session ahead!

Delighted that after about 10 sessions of graft on the pathway we reached out target and the conservation area now has a great mulch pathway which will allow year round accessibility to the educational and park users as they get to use the pathway to experience the bio-diverse area.

Some fresh mulch was very useful and having Peter fixing 3 barrows, and having an extra barrow really boosted productivity!! An amazing cheer squad from some well hydrated locals helled our push along the pathway together with some quality workout tunes to keep us in rhythm as we shoveled.

Great team work, stories, graft and laughs made for a very productive hour of GG action!!

With the pathway complete we headed off to hang out as a GG group one last time! Awesome to remember the best and worst tasks we had done together over the last nearly decade of GoodGym action.

Its been a blast to hang out with such a fun group both tonight and everyone of the weeks over the last 9 years!

Always Love

Joel
