This group run took us to the greatest Carolinian landscape in the world and a bat superhighway - Ham Avenues.

Here we came to the rescue of the European lime trees which were being troubled by nasty shoots aka "suckers" growing out from their trunks. These were no match for the GoodGymmers as we used loppers to cut them away.

It was a glorious evening for a gentle run/ walk along the river. We welcomed Joanna to her first GG task, celebrated Maena's birthday and took in Ken's local history knowledge.

This morning's task was in the spacious gardens of St Christopher's, a residential home in St Margarets for young people, where we removed thorns and weeds and gave it a general tidy up. It emerged that two of the fab five are classics alumni and one of us completed a parkrun-GoodGym double 💪🏽

I learned so much about bats and their habitat along the Thames. Thank you for a really interesting evening with a friendly bunch of fellow bat-recorders.
