Who this task will support
St Mary Walthamstow Churchyard
The churchyard contains numerous interesting graves and four listed tombs, and is divided into four railed and enclosed areas with public access to only two; it is bisected by paths which are in frequent public use. There are some 1300 visible monuments in and around the church, and it is thought that over 26,000 burials took place here. The first church of St Mary Walthamstow was founded in the early-12th century on the site of an older church. The current building is largely 16th-century with later alterations. The timber-framed Ancient House near the church probably stands on the site of the original Manor of Walthamstow.

Where to meet? St Mary's Churchyard.

What to bring? Be prepared for all weathers/temperatures and a head torch will be useful as the evenings are pretty dark now.

Task: We will be helping with more community gardening tasks and Tim, the gardener, will walk us through what needs to be done:)

NO RUN THIS WEEK As we are having a shorter session to allow for a social at 7.30pm we will forgo a group run BUT I hope you will run/walk/cycle to the session to keep those active brownie points:) sign up here for social.

As usual, you're encouraged to walk, run or cycle to the session!

Options are available to run between 4km and 5km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
