Fork me that was a big log jam!

12 Tough Hackney GoodGymers ran 6k to help clear a large flower bed on the Wilton Estate.

Way sub zero and icy rain met us for our endeavours this week!! A top 10 toughest conditions for a GG run I have seen!

Thank you all so much for coming out and smashing the task!!

Getting in a longer loop out to Wilton Estate to try to warmup our core temperatures and mobilise our muscles. We met Ulus the new lead for the Community garden, grabbed the plentiful tools and set to work!

We had 200 logs to shift first up so making a lifting chain we loaded up barrow after barrow full on logs and shifted them to a newly created wood store. Some small logs and some huge logs requiring big team work to make it happen.

With the logs shifting the rest of the group forked, dug, pulled and pic axed their way to glory! The roots may have been a match for the fork but our sheer will prevailed and a huge proportion of the flower bed was cleared!!

Soaked and worked out we took a even longer loop back to base to pump up the mileage!

Thanks for coming along, amazing effort!!

Smooth Running
