Love the Lea - (non)parkrun!

Well, folks, we've been here before stuck without community missions - sadly we can't meet as a group to do good so instead you're encouraged to do some River Lea appreciation by doing one or all of the following this weekend:

• Run/walk 5k+ alongside River Lea in Waltham Forest (and elsewhere - it goes a long way you know) and take a photo of it's beautiful, probably flooded in places, glory! Please note that some parts of it are VERY muddy and might be flooded so be prepared to turn around.

• Run/walk/cycle 5k+ to the river and back if you don't live in the east of the borough. Selfie please as evidence of reaching the river :)

• Cycle/Run alongside river on roads the length of it in Waltham Forest - this will involve some planning.... Photos of the route please!

You have Saturday or Sunday to do it - please get out there, clock up some miles, enjoy nature and stay motivated!

Here's a little random reading material on the River Lea
