Last night we had a perfect two for one task and Group Run for the Lambeth Group - first Task Force hero Jo was leading a mission to help out at TRAID in Brixton to put out the new sale stock, followed by a run up to the allotments to help out Jean and Annick.

Michael, AA Yianny and Fi met Jo at TRAID and helped out till the task was (v. quickly) finished and were ready to set off however one of our group hadn't seen the message to meet there so we popped back to Papa's on a search and collect mission.

Will was however many steps ahead and had figured out that he should head straight to the task location, a tactic also employed by Paul, Marie-Noelle and Lindy (great to have you back with us Lindy!).

We were accompanied by a stunning deep red sunset as we ran up Brixton Hill and across to the task to meet everyone however that also meant fading light so we didn't have long on arrival. Luckily with a few people arriving from 7pm we got plenty of work done including moving timber and perspex, weeding, putting green and waste in the skip and lifting the paving stones so Annick could weed underneath.

We did uncover a red ant nest / colony under the stones and one particularly angry resident decided to take a couple of bites out of AA's ankle (I can report no lasting damage so don't worry all ;0) but other than that all went smoothly and conversation revolved around the beauty of the night sky when you can actually see it - pro tip leave London!

Big thanks to all and see you next time!

We were treated to a full on winter's evening by the weather yesterday with winds, rain and grey and dark skies - perfect for a bit of GG outdoor work then!

After a few people were delayed at work it meant that Michael, Will and AA Yianny met at Papa's while our resident walkers Marie-Noelle and Paul would meet us at the task.

Simon had a shopping list of tasks that we could undertake and his plans sound amazing - the place is going to be a real hub for locals to come and enjoy - but we settled on a classic task... weeding!

We had to continue the great work done by our Southwark GG friends and clear as much of the areas on either side of the paths of bindweed, nettles and other invasive species. There were also some chunky railway sleepers to shift and then dispose of it all at the end.

By session's end we had been nicely watered, prickled and plenty of soil gathered in our shoes and were in high spirits for it!

We will now make this a regular Group Run to support the GoodGym community on the border between Lambeth and Southwark so look out for sessions coming up in Oct, Nove and Dec.

Thanks to all and more photos will be dropping soon!

The Lambeth GoodGym crew were back out to help Annick and Jean down at the Brixton Allotments.

It was also a first Group Run for Nancy so it was great to have you with us!

The team helped carry on the good work started a month ago and check out the great pics to see how it looked.

Huge thanks to all and see you next week :0)

After the passing showers of the afternoon we had a lovely evening to head over to the Weir Link and help weed and clear their rose patch.

Will was back with us for his second Group Run and was met by Jo, Michael and AA Yianny at Papa's.

It's one of our longer runs to the near side of Clapham/Balham but surprisingly quiet and leafy for large parts so we arrived in good spirits to get cracking.

On arrival we found we had the best tool set up we've had in a while (checkout the tool chariot!) and were able to clear a decent patch round the borders and the rose bushes as well.

By 8pm we were done and set back off with Will peeling away to head down Brixton Hill then Jo angling off down in Brixton as Michael and AA made it safely back to base.

Thanks so much to all and I'll see you at the next one :0)
