After the heatwave broke, it was time to get a second coat on!

Temperatures hadn't plumetted that much in reality but our task this evening was the complete the task we started three weeks ago: protecting the boathouse doors for the scouts. This evening we headed out to put the second coat of teak oil on.

Starting with a good stretch in the sunshine on Richmond Green, half the group started walking to the river while the other half did interval sprints around the green, getting six sprints in before jogging off to the riverside.

Armed with brushes and oil, the doors were soon looking well-fed and happy, giving us time to go and get well-watered at the busy pub next door before sunset!

This vibrant youth club always brings out everyone's playful side and this evening was no different while we scrubbed down the projector inflatable, laminated posters and menus and prepared flags for summer activities! All this sandwiched by a sunny 7.5km run welcoming Larissa back to GoodGym for the first time since 2020, and Steph for her first group run, taking us from Richmond to Mortlake. The other half of the team made their own way and Lucy and Katie hot footing it from another task in Hammersmith!

Honor, Chris, Ken, Anita and run leader Liz achieved best possible performance on Monday’s group run task combining quality, speed and humour to transform seven benches in Buccleuch Gardens at zero cost.
