Report written by Pennie Varvarides
This week 9 fierce pirates ran 4.5km to walk the plank at the pirate ship - i mean, shift the plank...
We were carrying old bits of wood down the stairs and to the skips outside, saving Phoenix and co a whole day's work!
We were joined by GG newbie Lindy - go give her a cheer!
The crew assembled at our Tottenham Green based to receive instructions of the mission ahead, before a quick warm up.
It was soon time to head off, so Sarah was our trusty back marker, and Dave helped me lead the way as he knew a much nicer scenic route around the back.
Phoenix greeted my crew at the pirate ship and quickly put us to work carrying the pre-packed bags of wood and the longer planks down the stairs.
Within 20 minutes we had completed our task, with the crew making quite a lot of trips up and down along the way.
Time for a photoshoot with our bounty - the treasure chest of dreams.
Phoenix then told us about how easy it is to volunteer for the Haringey Pirates and that you'd only need to do one shift a month (for a year).
Anyone who likes reading with kids should take a look at their website.
We then ran back to base for some swimming pilates, lead by Niamh, and a game of knee tag before stretching.
See you all next week!
(Apologies for the technical difficulties. More photos coming soon!)
