Our group run started a bit early this week with a few of us meeting at the Nags Head to watch the woman’s euro game allowing us to hydrate pre run. Ten of us gathered at the Old Spike and did a short run to meet Karthik and Koshy at Cossall Estate. Our first task was litter picking the nature reserve. You never know what treasures you may find there! After this we weeded the beds in the estate and then jogged back to Peckham. The majority of the group were keen for more football so headed straight to the pub after!

Wednesday’s session kicked off at the Old Spike in Peckham, where Daryl gave us the introduction to our run. Gallage and Karthik joined us for their first Goodgym session! They chose the perfect one to come to - as we had planned for our monthly social for later that evening. After the warm-up stretches to loosen up those muscles, we headed on our 2.5K run to Thorlands.

Upon arrival at Thorlands, we were greeted by Simon, who provided us with clear instructions for the task ahead. The team then got to work on some essential mulching.

After completing our tasks at Thorlands, we made our way back to Peckham. To round off a fantastic session, we headed to Frank’s in Peckham for a well-deserved drink. It was a great opportunity to chat, and appreciate the great group we have at Southwark.

Thanks to everyone who came along and contributed. Looking forward to our next session next Wednesday!

We met at Old Spike before our group run to Old Alleynian Rugby Club. Our warm up was short as we were all suitably warm from it being a scorching day! We ran over to Dulwich and met Ian who put us to work. Some of us helped seed bare patches of grass and others helped move some sand. Our treat at the end of was a game of touch rugby and a chocolate! Those who did the run back we went via Dawsons heights to check the view of the London skyline at sunset.
