Shore ditch feel like we shifted a lot of Mulch

21 Hackney GoodGymers celebrated Toyin’s 50th GoodDeed by running 6k to Shorditch Park to create 300 metres of mulch pathway.

A steady start and an electrifyingly speedy finish to 50 GoodDeeds from Toyin who has really dominated GoodGym this year! Congratulations on your amazing hard work and enthusiasm for all things GoodGym!!

Setting off the a random route to Shorditch park (not that I took the wrong path in London Fields!!). Notching up some good distance as we wiggles our way to one of the most well used Green Spaces in the borough.

With 3k under our belts we met Park Ranger Vince who had the tools all laid out and probably the biggest mulch pile in London ready for us to attack!

Shovelers, rakers and Wheelbarrowing Ninjas were all ready for action to help Hackney Parks keep our Green Spaces useable in wet weather for the community.

The Ninja’s were flying tonight speeding down the 200 raceway to tip the mulch at super speed! The takers were precise and efficient keeping the mulch thick and aligned while the shovelers provided the smooth and swift supply of mulch!!

40 minutes and 300 metres on mulch laid finishing in the perfect spot with the whole section complete!

With the tools loaded back onto the van we zipped off for a water side run down the canal back to base! Firing up the speed on the last 1.5k great to see everyone working hard all the way back to base!!

Think it was the added incentive of the post run Social that spurred us on! Thanks for the 16 who came along for a Thai refuel!!

See you next week for a visit to Shaklewell Primary to get their school garden on track!

Smooth Running
