We had four new people this week - welcome Katie, Oliver, Caroline and Chris!

We returned to a classic GoodGym Camden task last night, with 29 of us rocking up to Kings Cross Orchard/Alara – a few more than Alex had expected!

However, he managed to find jobs for most of us to do – ranging from mulching the trees, shovelling the mulch, wheelbarrowing, litter picking and weeding. We also got to see the range of plants growing, from chillies to chinese pears! With so many of us, we made quick work of it and it wasn’t long before it was time to down tools and pick up a box of cereal.

Then we hot-footed it to Granary Square, where we all ran between 1 and 3 laps – the aim was to do it as a progression run, where you run each lap a bit faster than the last, but some us decided to take it at our own pace.

Then it was time to run home and have a nice stretch!

If you need more of an orchard fix, you can find details of the Camley Road Harvest Festival on 13 September here: https://www.facebook.com/events/579450629228576/

We also have a community mission to help Camden Highline on 19 September - details at https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/help-camden-highline-tidy-up-camden-gardens
