What happens when a West Londoner finds himself in Catford? Well, firstly, he gets lost. After travelling for more than an hour and a half from Acton (due to TFL engineering works), this Ealing GG found his way to the Wild Cat Wilderness, where he was greeted by Cat. Little did he know, he was the only GG that signed up. Yet, that did not stop him from joining in. After Cat showed Sam around the Wilderness, he was introduced to two Youth Offenders and their officer, who were cracking on with some essential weeding. There is always weeding to be done. Sam gladly joined in and helped out with the efforts.

After almost two hours and a lovely mint tea break, we were proud of what we achieved and decided to call it a day.

This was Sam's first time in Catford, but he is sure it won't be his last.
