Brighton Report written by Brighton runner
Following a brief but comprehensive deluge hitting the coast, this week's task - a slice of green community action as part of WWF x GoodGym’s Workout for Nature - saw an impressive fifteen GoodGymers descend on Round Hill Conservation Area to paint over graffiti tags gathered on the local Cat's Creep stairway and hoe stubborn weeds on the nearby Wakefield Road.
After GoodGym's visit, Cat's Creep, famous for its wavering apostrophe (depending on whether you think one or more cats are involved), 116 steep steps and resident toads and newts, was lined once again with freshly painted magnolia walls. Meanwhile, finely honed hoeing skills from the recent GoodGym Palmeira Square challenge meant that the flint wall on Wakefield Road was similarly smartened up.
Through its collective endeavours in the Round Hill, the GoodGym Brighton team are hopeful of another appearance in the local Round Hill Reporter (published since 2000) following previous articles in recent editions. The Reporter is the printed newsletter of the Round Hill Society and is evidence of a lively local community with regular events including an annual water fight.
The mission drew to an energised end with the packing up of tools, swiftly darkening skies and GoodGym area activator/ Round Hill resident Stefania handing out ciabatta and luminous doughnuts sourced via the Olio app, which helps prevent good food from going to waste.
With thanks to volunteers from the Round Hill Society, including Dominic and local councillor Raphael.

On a beautifully sunny Sunday morning, new GoodGymer Diana and I, along with 30 or 40 other volunteers, met at Banjo Groyne to take part in a Surfers Against Sewage beach clean.
After a friendly briefing, we were kitted out with gloves and bags, ready to tackle the task.
Note to self: next time, bring a litter picker to grab those cheeky bits of plastic hiding on the far side of chain-link fences!
After an hour or so of scouring the beach, we gathered back at the groyne to weigh our collections. Between us all, we’d removed a brilliant 56kg of rubbish from the beach — a fantastic team effort!
