Report written by Joel Wiles
An Evening of celebrations!! A triple GoodDeed milestone run combined with Earth Hour, Hackney Parks, digging, Stag Beetle loggers, 4K Run, Fitness session, social and ohh yes CAKE!!
Massive thank you to everyone who came out last night both to the group run and social!!
Huge shout out to Clair and Anne for notching up a magnificent 100 GoodDeeds each!! Amazing dedication, hard work and happy times!
To the cake makers thank you!! Cake fest 2019 was incredible!! ** Eva, Toyin, Emily and Mireille** you are all stars!!
Awesome to have so many people come along to the social! Hope you enjoyed it as much as me. Looking forward to our next milestone/ race celebration so we can do it all over again!
So the task, running out to Well Street Common in fingers crossed our last dark task for a while we met Bruce and the Hackney Parks crew. We first carried all the 30 logs over to the Stag Beetle hotel development area. Splitting into 2 (non competitive-ish) teams we got digging!
Having to get down to half the depth of the longest log this was no mean feat. Dario had everyone in awe as his silky digging skills came to the for and got team 1 down to the right depth in quick time. Some fine tuning with some excellent clumpage removing squared off the whole before the logs went in. I finely honed cluster of logs half buried in the ground was half art instillation and part rooting wood for the ** Stag Beetles** to feed and make a home.
With the other team catching up fast the soil went back in to complete the renovation and we were done!
With a little time we brought the fire and smashed out a running/body weight conditioning circuit to get us primed for the social ahead!
A quick run back and we were refuelling to the max!!
Great to have you along! Hope you can all make next week when we help ** Cordwainers Grow** saving a plants and trees from a community garden than is being forced to close.
Enjoy
