Kevin and I ran to the Adventure Playground via the Olympic Park.

Tim had walked from Stratford via the River Lea

Hilary was leading the running from the Print House.

Ange met us at the gate,she had a very busy day with over 100 children having spent time enjoying all the playground has to offer.The have a trip on a canal barge coming up which sounds like great fun.

Tonights task was to restack a pile of wood as it had been left with nails sticking out and quite precarious.

Some of the small pieces will be uses for the fire pit and pizza oven.

Wood restacked we went to have a look at the tadpoles in the newly built pond. The pond is part of a project to have a pathway of small ponds along the Lea Valley to increase amphibians.

We said our goodbyes and headed home.

Next week we are heading to see Sybil at Emmanuel Church

Thank you to Graham for stepping in to lead the run from Print House to Cody Dock for me,knew running wasn't going to happen for me due to a migraine.

We welcomed back Martin for a return visit to Newham and it was also great to see Paige back.

Julia one of the awesome team met us at Cody Dock and let us know what we can look forward to at the Spring Forward event,also go to look inside at the new visitors centre....opening is imminent.

We headed down to Star Lane and split into 3 groups to cover as many roads as possible to post our leaflets to let as many residents as possible know about the upcoming event.

Well done to Rosa,Hilary,Eugene and Graham managing to run to,from and during tonights session after the awesome effort of your trail half marathon in Wales....wow those hills(see photo of elevation they ran)

Well done everybody for this week’s task helping care4calais organising their donations.

Four of us met at the start point, with two joining us at the task.

Great fashion find this week was a pair of half leopard print jeans. Why would anyone give them up?! (Kitten/pirate tshirt is still there in case anyone’s wondering).

Two volunteer police officers amongst us making sure we felt super safe, with some discussion of getting the tasers they’re now entitled to.

Favourite national days was the thought provoking random weekly question this week, prompted some discussion of whether pancake day counts, world book day was a contender and no trousers on the tube got honourable mention. It was actually national homemade soup day on Tuesday… so.. y’know….wow.

Hackney adventure playground next Tue evening, so if you’re up for some adventure…
