Wisteria Hysteria!

The day had been hot, the sun had been shining, the beach and bars of Brighton were PACKED! But that didn't deter an eager group of destructive gardeners.

Welcome to Rob who has moved to Brighton recently. He had been a Newham Goodgymer and their loss is our gain! Thank you for getting stuck in with everyone.

And stuck in we got! We met residents Tony and Keith who furnished us with tools, gloves and bags to clear some wild flowers, brambles and Holly which had grown in a concreted area. With a mountain of bags filled and a little energy left, some tackled the wisteria that had grown up the side of the building!

With everything cleared and the tools back in the shed, the residents presented us with a thank you card and celebrations to thank us for helping out! That's definitely a way to win us round to a return visit.

As the sun had been out it was time to get the guns out. This week's fitness session was all about arm and upper body fitness! As runners and cyclists we tend not to work on our arms too much, but the help with our forward propulsion, especially up hills! If you'd like another go at our session check out this video.

Ever the social bunch, a group headed to the Sidewinder to utlise our new upper body strength to lift a few pints...

If you can, please join us for Parkrun this Saturday!
