It was a milder evening than we have had and that was GREAT NEWS for Lambeth, as this week both our tasks were outside. Before we set off, we welcomed new trainer Char, who will surely do great things up in Liverpool. We also gave much cheers to Sarah, for getting her 100 good deeds t-shirt. TOP WORK SARAH!

Group 1 ran the well-trodden 8km round trip up to the Portico Gallery in West Norwood. The job was to finish sorting out gazebo covers that we started before Christmas. It turns out that GoodGym Lambeth was not satisfied with the initial job and so did the whole thing again! John and Methusula the cat were very happy.

Group 2 ran to a new task - Katie went on a slightly funny route there but it was around 1.5km each way. The Grove Adventure Playground has been saved from demolition and is now being seriously spruced up so it can be used again. This is good news as it's a seriously fun place to hang out! There were swings, big slides and wooden walkways galore. We had a lot of woodchip to spread out and so got to work. One group went outside with Katie to do some nice strengthening of our ankles and calves and then we all swapped. The last 10 minutes saw a frantic rush of wheelbarrows and shovels. Then lots of people went down the big steep slide very fast!

Once we were all back to base we did some stretches and headed off on our first monthly pub night of the year. It was all very nice and big thanks to task force member Sarah for organising - she is heading off on some adventures for a while and we will miss her!
