6 GoodGymers made their way 4.7km to help their local community in Redbridge.

On a warm and a little muggy Monday evening, 6 Goodgym members set off from our base at Wanstead House towards St Peters-in-the-forest. We had been asked if we could assist with tidying up the area after the busy summer footfall.
So after Julie led us in a little warm-up session we took to the streets of Wanstead & Snaresbrook to get to the church in the forest.
Tasks seemed to centre around the letter W this evening:
- Watering the planters
- Weeding & re-graveling pathways
- Washing the front gate
Martin & James set to the watering before moving on to some pruning. Jenny & Julia got stuck into graveling & weeding, while Linda & Peter attacked the dirty gates and its surrounding weeds.
All too soon it was time to call it an evening on these never ending tasks, making our way back to base and other destinations.
P.S... James running with gardening gloves does have a passing resemblance to the hulk we thought P.P.S.. the swan is one of many in Eagle Pond, where we even spotted a tortoise ambling about.

Happy to wash the gate just not “open the gate” 🤣
Turns out Joyride (Olivia Colman) was an Irish film - all the better for it! :)
