That title got your attention right?!

Lambeth GG were back at it last night as a smaller (intimate?) group of us gathered down at Loughborough Farm to help Heather with the Orchard.

The evening kicked off in different fashion with Katie having to make do with Chuck Taylors instead of her running shoes, Tilly bravely running straight from work to hit a cheeky 15km for the evening and AA Yianny setting off from base on a solo run - most importantly the weather was perfect and we all made it down successfully!

On arrival Heather met us with garden forks, shovels and wheelbarrows and that meant we were in business, heading over to the orchard to help clear a pile of (we were told) Sticky Willy nettles and drop them on the compost pile along with some woodchip.

The best thing about the vening was not only learning some new names for plants but also receiving a lesson on composting - every day is a school day as they say - so we left not only happy doing some good but also a tiny bit smarter. (Not hard I heard someone say....)

So that was that, task completed and Heather very happy and keen to book in another session so we all set off and headed home for a well earned ice cream / dinner!

Thanks team and see you next time :0)

The days are getting longer and the Lambeth team were down at Papa's enjoying the last rays of the sun as it dipped below the houses on Pulross Rd because it was Tuesday and that can only mean one thing - Group Run time.

This evening was a classic help out our friends session so we were heading out to post flyers for our friends at Get Rid of and Donate as well as some GoodGym ones to raise awareness of two awesome organisations (if we do say so ourselves).

Four members so Manos, Tilly, Katie and AA Yianny set off on a lovely loop through Brixton and down to Brockwell Park before heading back and starting the leafletting around the Rattray and Mayall Road block.

We had a decent chunk of flyers so divided them up but by 5 to 8 we were standing triumphantly by the side of St Matthew's Church with empty hands and a feeling of achievement!

So that's it, another great task and another fun evening. Big congratulations to Tilly for setting a new PB on her half marathon the weekend past, to Katie for hitting a double session trail run + GG group run and Manos who was back for his second ever session (one of the family now!)

Let's talk about last night's session back with Simon at the Thorlands project. The group was neatly divided by those meeting at Papa's fir the Group Run, those running directly to the task and thise cycling so we had all bases covered fotness wise!

AA Yianny was delighted to hear stories from GGers or holidays just taken to exotic climbs (and not AT ALL jealous...) leading to fun conversations about covonut cocktails and low cost flights on the run down to the land of Thor.

On arrival the three groups we reunited and ready to kick things off in the frosty evening air. Spirits were nevertheless high probably due to setting off while it was still light out and our tasks were clear, dig over the next section of garden 1 and collect and barrow in the woodchip to lay down preparing the next phase of this project.

The great spirit led to GGers discussing the best way to attract more members to the Lambeth community with some 'innovative' suggestions on fancy dress shall we say being floated.... Perhaps one to file under let's revisit after the next GG social?

By the end of the session all the planned work was complete, Simon was happy (and won his battle against technology!) and everyone could head home knowing another great task was in the books.

Huge thanks to all as ever and see you next time :0)
