Meanwhile in Westminster a large group of incredibly nice people headed down to Sayers Croft to help maintain one of the small pieces of green wildlifey spaces that Westminster has to offer.

With lots of newbies starting this week they were given a fulll extended in depth breakdown of why GoodGym is so good and why them coming along helps to make it better. A quick health and safety brief, discussion around current affairs and upcoming races we were off. Now as this weeks tasks was a 10k round trip with the option to return via uber we went out at a conservative pace before I sneakily dropped in a few intervals.

The plan on our arrival was to clean the classroom windows from the outside. Sweep and weed the yard. Give the area a jolly good litter picking, wipe down the signs around the site that were covered in leaves and weed out any bad stuff that was left floating in the pond.

Sadly when we arrived the key to let us in to the area to do all of these wonderfully good deeds had disappeared so instead we took a tour of the area, kept an eye out for wildlife and areas that on our return we will pay extra care and attention tooooo.

Now as we hadn't expended to much energy doing the task EVERYONE ran the full 10k back but sadly some were caught napping when the Sky kindly opened up. But as we said, it's only water.

Hopefully on our return they will have found the keys and we can once again turn these fingers green.
