Four goodgym members met at the Phoenix Cinema to run the 4 km to Friary Park to help the friends group led by Richard and Yvonne. This is one of our longest runs with a nice section through Gleblands. One of the many green spaces in Barnet. Give a shout out to Antonio on his first group run with Barnet. ( click on the red link) also a sad farewell to Ali Who is moving on to Rome via Swindon! ( yes all roads lead through Swindon!) Bon voyage! We met Richard and Yvonne and set about litter picking and trimming the lavender. Both top jobs to while away half an hour. Valeria also joined us after cycling from home. Richard was explaining how these friends groups are becoming smaller as less people are interested in being involved. Which is such a shame for the community at large. It is great to be able to offer them a boost both of morale and with physical help. After completing our tasks we had a few bags of lavender and quite a lot of rubbish. The runners headed back to the Phoenix with a short detour through Coppetts Wood. We then had a warm down stretch and some refreshment at the Phoenix on its CAFE balcony... nice!

thanks for coming running, cycling and doing some good!
