8 Goodgymers ran 6k to Abney Park Cemetery to shovel, shift, tip and rake exactly 17 tonnes of high grade mulch!

Our epic mulch fest around Abney is in full swing for another Winter!! After welcoming in GG first timers ** Lara and Lizzie** to the squad we set off a little fewer in number that usual.

Strong in mind and strong in body a powerful 3k run up to Stokey and the enchanting Abney Park cemetery to meet park keeper Quentin.

With the reduced people volume we grabbed the tools and headed up very freshly chipped pill of mulch!!

Straight into rhythm we got shovelling night time!! Monumental efforts from Alice and Clair on the shovels keeping the barrows stocked up and moving strong!!

Laying out as much if not more pathway that a group double the size a quality 45 minutes of graft was put in with a real sweat worked up!

As we were just about to finish the apocalypse hit and we dashed back to put away the tool and split for home as fast as possible!!

Great effort team!

See you next week for our last session of the year and Christmas social!!

Dress up and see you there
