Fish and Chipboard

Lewisham's finest gathered outside Glass Mill trying to shelter from the fine misty rain, ready to tackle the space at St Mary's Primary School that will eventually become a forest school.

We started with a quick warm up and headed out on the short run to this evenings task. We first visited this task towards the end of last year and it was our first time returning since the brambles have been cut back allowing us to access more of the site.

Our task this evening was to remove the large pieces of rubbish ready for Lewisham Council to collect. In true GoodGym style we got stuck in straight away and uncovering an assortment of rubbish from a bbq to a bike wheel to an inflatable fish, not to mention multiple hosepipes. The rubbish just kept coming and we unveiled what we think is a collapsed shed but that's a job for daylight.

The rain had been coming down pretty hard and with all the main pieces of rubbish cleared we called it a day, gathered out lights and made our way out, making sure no one had been left behind. It was a short run back to Glass Mill and the majority of the group chose to continue running back to the warmth of their homes and the call of a warm dinner - double cool down for you all next week then! Thanks for backmarking this week, Marta!

Next time we visit it will be in daylight and we'll be tackling the brambles in the area that will become the orchard. Keep an eye out for a weekend community mission!
