Share the love

After such a long spell of hot water, our local trees are in desperate need of some extra love - and that's where GoodGym comes in!

We met last night at our usual spot, and it was lovely to see some new as well as returning faces. We started off with a little bit of a challenge with our warm up, testing our coordination and reactions, and it soon became clear everybody was on fire!

Our job for the evening was at Bramford community garden, so after introductions and a lovely chat about all the great things we did over the weekend (including parties on boats, family time, BBs and catching up with friends - all the fun!) we set off for Wandsworth Town.

Halfway through the run we had a little pit stop to have a photo at a previous task where we have even been namechecked on the plaque - if you're passing Bramlands Close by Clapham Junction check it out!

After 2.5km we arrived to find Sha, who manages the garden, waiting for us with several cannisters and instructions about which trees needed the most attention. Over the next half an hour we crossed over the road to Maccy D's, which had generously allowed us to pilfer their water supply, and back over to the garden to give the thirsty plants a good drenching. Well done team, you will have saved several leafy lives! We also got in a good litter pick, focusing on plastic bottles and those annoying cig butts.

Next week it's bank holiday Monday, and we will be having a group run but it will be slightly earlier on. You can sign up for Monday fun right here. Until then, have a lovely week!
