22 Hackney GoodGymers ran 5k to Gascoyne Estate communty garden to shift 2.5 tonnes of compost in 40 minutes of heavy lifting action.

After welcoming the squad for the evening we set off on our 2.5k run down to Gascoyne Estate. A little running stare down with the Victoria Park harriers on the edge of Well Street Common. Meeting up with Derek who has any number of barrows, pots, bins and wheeliebins ready to be filled. Whipping off the cover on the remaining 3 tonnes of soil and manure. We got stuck right in loading and piling at a furious rate! Working a lighting speed with loads of techniques to transport the soil we manoeuvred 3.5 tonnes to free up most of the pavement, car park and keeping the landlords happy.

A swift tidy up and grabbing some refreshments before we powered back to base throwing in the magnificent 1k lamppost fartlek to take us back to base with perfect timing!

Great effort last night, hopefully Spring will show up next week for our task with Hackney Parks!!

Have a great week

Smooth Running

Joel
