Report written by Bromley runner
The bushes bit back as we returned to the Crystal Palace Water Tower 💦🗼 to discover that, despite our best efforts to remove the soil over the past 2 years, nature found a way.
We met at Bridge House on a hot day 🔥, but not too muggy and starting to cool off, ready for a run. This week's question - what's your favourite Olympic sport 🤸 to watch? Paris 2024 having begun to grace our screens from the start of the weekend, we had a diversity of answers from aquatics to gymnastics to archery.
With introductions done, we powered around the park 🏃 on Crystal Palace Park Road, climbing the steep hill (though less steep than the direct routes!) and reaching around the top to drop into the water tower (figuratively), where we met John and the news that we had our work cut out for us 🧑🌾
However, the weeds weren't deep rooted and the soil was ill, so they came out really easily and we did a lot in the allotted time. We bagged up our work and dragged it out, and said goodbye to John.
The run down was through the centre of the park with a beautiful evening view of Bromley and Bexley, veering off and round the south side of the park back to Penge.
John was really pleased with our efforts and we'll be back next week to carry on 💪
