Last night 10 runners ran 5.3km/10.6km to weed and move woodchip at Surrey Dock Farm

Drip drip dop little April showers weren't getting in our way last night! The weather held beautifully for us as we headed off to Surrey Docks Farm.

A big cheering hello to Rachel and Hugo who joined us for their first ever GoodGym run last night. Hoorah!

Heroic scenes at our furthest away task last night

It's a long run there and team Southwark absolutely smashed it. We wound our way through backstreets, parks and followed the railway all the way up to Surrey Docks where we were met by Gemma. 5.3km is the longest run out we do and you nailed it. High fives all around.

Gemma set us to work - three people worked on shifting a giant pile of woodchip that would then be spread over the area that the other group were busy weeding. As the task is far away, we only had 20 minutes to spend so hard to work we went! In that time we managed to completely clear two areas and lay fresh woodchip on them, as well as getting a substantial amount of the big pile moved.

Whilst working, we pondered how much woodchip would a woodchip chip if a woodchip could chip wood? Hmmmmm

Tools down, we were treated to a trip to the goat shed to meet some new born kids (two had literally been born that morning!). We said our hellos and ooohed and aaahhed at their long ears and gangly litte legs. Thank you Gemma for letting us meet them! We were treated to a glorious sunset for our group photo and headed off home - some people getting the overground back to base and a group of four brave warriors making the run home.

10.6km phew!

Great job last night team. If you're desperate to get back to the farm we'll be going again on 30th May. As it's quite a long one we can't go too often, but we can't resist some animal cuddles! Sign up for that here.

Great job last night, looking forward to seeing you next week!
